Seeking descendants of Arthur C. Booth, born 11/11/04 in NY, died 5/27/77 in Buffalo, NY. Arthur was the son of Albert William Booth (1878-1906) and his wife, perhaps named Dorothy. Albert William Booth died at age 28. Family lore has it that he died as the result of a head injury suffered while working as a sailor on Lake Erie or the Niagara River. BUT,
I have recently found his obituary:
From a Buffalo newspaper - 1906
DIES IN CUBA
Tonawanda, November 18?* (Special) - Albert Booth of Tonawanda, who had been in San Diego (sic), Cuba, during the last year, died at that place last Thursday night. He was the son of Harvey** Booth of Buffalo. The body arrived here tonight and will be placed in the vault at Elmlawn Cemetery until Sunday afternoon when the Niagara Falls Lodge of Odd Fellows, of which Booth was a member, will hold funeral services in the Elmlawn chapel.
* hard to read date from newspaper scan
**actually Arvey, not Harvey
Dorothy may have remarried a gentleman named Clark or perhaps last name Keating. Would like to connect with cousins I have never met. I am descended from Albert W. Booth's brother, Orson Shepard Booth.
Would like to correspond with anyone descended from Albert W. Booth (1878-1906) and his son Arthur C. Booth (1904-1977).
Thanks
