Description	:	Married Sarah Jane 26 Feb 1879 Lafayette Co., Wisconsin ------- George Booth Hampton has many retired farmers, for the rich prairie land of Iowa offers splendid opportunities to the enterprising, persistent and industrious agriculturist.

The man who has those qualities has every reason to believe that his labors will be crowned with success, for the alluvial soil yields excellent returns and the farmer whose efforts are intelligently directed may always hope to have a period of rest in his later years, in which to enjoy the fruits of his former toil. Such has been the record of George Booth, now a well known resident of Hampton, who was born in England March 11, 1850, a son of William and Sarah (Ines) Booth, both of whom were natives of England, where their entire lives were passed. They had a family of seven children: Lucy, still living in England; George; Anna, Elizabeth, John and Polly, all residents of England; and Fannie, who was a twin sister of John and is now deceased. George Booth spent the period of his boyhood and youth in his native country and acquired his education there in the public schools. In 1871 he crossed the Atlantic to the new world with Lafayette county, Wisconsin, as his destination and there he engaged in farming, remaining in that state for twelve years. In 1883 he came to Iowa and purchased a quarter section of land in Franklin county, to which he afterward added one hundred and twenty acres. He still owns an excellent farm in Hamilton township but in 1908 retired to Hampton, where he has recently erected a modern residence-a two story house at the corner of Franklin and Ninth streets. While upon the farm his work was most carefully managed and his fields showed the result of intelligent cultivation and of unfaltering enterprise. His land was divided by well kept fences, substantial barns and outbuildings sheltered good grades of stock and improved modern machinery facilitated the work of the fields. Mr. Booth was married in 1879 to Miss Sarah Huntington, a native of England and to them were born four children: Jennie, who is now the wife of Edward Simmons a resident farmer of Hamilton township, occupying the old homestead; Freddy, who died at the age of one year; Guy, who is living on his father's farm of a quarter section; and Lester deceased. The religious faith of the family is that of the Methodist church, and Mr. Booth gives his political support to the republican party. He has served as school director but has never sought nor desired public office, preferring to concentrate his energies and attention upon his business interests which, capably managed, have brought to him substantial returns. He has never had occasion to regret his determination to come to the new world, for here he found the opportunities which he sought and in their improvement has gained a place among the substantial citizens of the community. He has many attractive social qualities which have gained him warm friends, and he deserves to be ranked among the representative citizens of the community. History of Franklin County, Iowa by I. L.
