Obituary. Emma Cottle Booth, daughter of Travis and Belle Cottle, was born April 21, 1875 in Linn county, Kansas, and passed away unexpectedly at her home near Wilmore after a brief illness, on September 16, 1947, at the age of 71 years, four months and 26 days.
She was united in marriage to Samuel Booth September 19, 1907, at Hutchinson, Kans. To this union were born two children, a son, Travis, who preceded her in death August 25, 1927, and a daughter, Georgia Pauline Bond. One brother, Charley Cottle, preceded her in death.
Mrs. Booth is survived by her husband and daughter, Pauline of the home; one sister, Mrs. Dulcie Cantrel of Los Angeles, Calif., and by other relatives and a host of friends.
