During his residence here he has manifested true public spirit and gained the esteem and respect of his associates by his industry and persistent labors. Mr. Booth is a native of England, born in 1852. He grew up in his native country, and spent the first nineteen years of his life in the village of his birth. The parents resided there until death. Our subject quit England in 1872 and started for the new world, taking passage on a steamer bound for the United States. His first employment was a machinist in the locomotive works at Paterson, New Jersey, where he remained for about one year. In 1874 he came west and settled in Wisconsin and remained for a number of years, engaged in farming in Waukesha county. He then came to Nebraska, arriving in Cheyenne county in January, 1880, and shortly after took up a homestead in section 20, township 14, range 47, where he spent a number of years, and developed a good farm. He next moved to section 29 in the same township, where he has built a large, commodious home. He is now proprietor of a ranch consisting of over three thousand acres, all lying along or near Lodgepole creek, nearly all of it being in one body, admirably situated for farm and ranching purposes. He has three hundred and twenty acres under irrigation and raises splendid crops of potatoes and grain. There is also a fine lot of hay land and pasture, and he handles at times one hundred and fifty head of cattle each year and from twenty-five to fifty horses. He owns in all about three sections of grazing land, and has one of the finest places in the county. He has a complete set of good ranch buildings, fences, etc., and is considered one of the wealthiest men of this section. He is probably the earliest settler in the valley between Sidney and Lodgepole who has remained on his land. In 1888 Mr. Booth was married to Miss Essie L. Loomis, a native of Metamora, Woodford county, Illinois. Our subject and his estimable wife have a family of eight children, all living at home at the present time. They are named as follows: James Eli, George M., Esther Ann, Louis, Leah Elizabeth, Firth, Jr., Paul and Eunice Lockwood. They are a happy and congenial family and have a pleasant and comfortable home, surrounded by a large circle of warm friends and acquaintances. Mr. Booth is prominent in affairs of his township and county, and is among the leading public-spirited citizens who have always been found ready and willing to lend their best efforts for the improvement of conditions in their immediate community. In political sentiment he is a Republican. ***************************** The Sidney Telegraph (Nebraska) – November 19, 1910, page 1 Firth Booth, an old-time resident of Lodgepole precinct, died at his home 12 miles east of Sidney, on Wednesday morning. Mr. Booth was 58 years of age and was born in England. Twenty-three years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Esther Sager. Nine children were born to them, eight of whom now live to mourn the loss of a kind and loving father. The funeral services were held at his home near Sunol, at eleven o'clock Friday morning, Rev. James Summer officiating. Interment took place at 1:30 in the afternoon, in the Sidney cemetery with Undertaker Fenske of Lodgepole, in charge. Mr. Booth was one of the substantial men of Cheyenne county and was the proprietor of a fine ranch on the Lodgepole. He leaves his family in good circumstances, and well provided for as he was, during his lifetime a very thrifty citizen. His death is a great loss and will be keenly felt by all who knew him. School was dismissed at the time of his death, in honor of a man who would always taken a deep interest in the young people about him – in their pleasures and in their education. The Telegraph extends to the wife and family its most sincere sympathy.
