    • The obituary of Appaline Booth copied from the Keosauqua Republican Thurs. 24 Aug 1899, p. 3, col. 6:
      Death of Mrs. Chauncey Booth:
      At 7 o'clock on Monday evening 14 Aug. 1899, occurred the sudden death of Mrs. Appaline Booth, at her home in Farmington, Iowa. The people of that little city were greatly shocked and surprised when like wildfire the news of the sad event was spread abroad, and sorrow was universal for the stricken husband and two sons. Only a few days of indisposition and a light attack of malaria, preceded the fatal chill, and although she expressed a fear of the worst yet the sad ending of life was wholly unexpected by her friends and physician.
      She was born in Alleghany, Pennsylvania 8 May 1842, and was the only child of George C. Allender and wife, who came to Iowa in 1844 and settled in Vernon, Van Buren County where the mother died in 1845. Mr. Allender was a prominent and prosperous business man and afforded his daughter many educational advantages, at one time sending her to the Iowa Wesleyan College at Mt. Pleasant. 25 Dec. 1861, she was united in marriage to Chauncey Booth in Vernon, Iowa and to them were born 2 sons, George and Edward Booth and one daughter, Anna who at the age of 16 died 11 April 1891. Mrs. Booth was a woman of strong mental powers, original in thought and witty in expression, positive in opinions, yet so warm hearted and generous in neighborly kindness that she endeared herself in the best circles of society, in every town in which she resided. A member of the Congregational Church, active in literary circles, in charitable organizations and in other societies of usefulness, her death caused a great vacancy. Funeral services were conducted at the family residence at 8 o'clock a.m. August 16 and the body was then conveyed to the Vernon Cemetery escorted by a long line of carriages containing mourning friends. The last rites were performed at the grave by the sisterhood of the Eastern Star Chapter of Farmington assisted by a large delegation of the order from Keosauqua.
