From page 20 of the 6 Dec 1928 issue of the Simcoe Reformer. 

Thomas Booth passes

Thomas Booth, for many years a faithful and valued employee of the H. S. Falls Company, suffered a stroke while at his accustomed place in the military band at the Simcoe Armouries on Monday night and although he rallied for a short time, he relapsed into unconsciousness a few minutes later, and died about nine o'clock.

Mr. Booth came with his family to Simcoe from Manchester, Eng., some fifteen years ago. They have made many friends in the community and the passing of the father will be widely regretted. He was in his 64th year.

Besides his wife there are three children: Mrs. Edward Russell of Simcoe, Hilda of the Norfolk General Hospital nursing staff, and Edwin in Sarnia. One sister and two brothers, resident in England, also survive.

Speaking of Mr. Booth's demise, Mr. H. S. Falls made the following statement to the Reformer: "His sudden death came as a great shock. He will be greatly missed. He was an exemplary man in every way. We all liked Tommy."

The funeral which was private, was conducted from his late residence, 54 King street, on Wednesday, Dec. 5th, with 
Rev. C. K. Masters in charge. Interment was made at 
Oakwood Cemetery.

The bearers: J. Edmond Booth, Edward J. Russell, Percy Russell, Edward Russell, Albert Russell and Edwin Robinson.
