J.E. (EDWARD) BOOTH
In the midst of a full and vibrant life at 93, John Edward Booth, slipped his earthly bonds amid the caring comfort of family and friends. He is mourned by the village of all he ever met and knew.
He was born July 31, 1916 on the southeastern edge of Wake County, the son and fifth child of Levie Womble and Colon Booth. He is preceded in death by his parents, his wife, Swannie Bailey Booth, his son, Doyle Edward Booth and his brothers and sisters, W. Jennings Booth, Golda Booth, Alvin Booth, Bernie W. Booth, H. Leon Booth, Hazel Booth Davis Hummer, and G. Worth Booth. He is survived by his daughter, Kathryn Booth Butler and husband, Ian Whittier Butler, his grandson, Ian Roe Stewart and wife, Wendy McDonald Stewart, great-grandson, Landon Thomas Stewart and many generations of nieces and nephews.
Edward moved with his family to the northeastern edge of Chatham County in 1928, where his father had followed the opportunity to harvest timber on the land which was to become Duke Hospital. He graduated from the historic Green Hope High School (Cary) where he was class valedictorian. He was enrolled in NC State University but family obligations made it impossible for him to attend. Instead he took over the family lumber business as the third generation to pursue that occupation. He then bought an adjoining property to that of his family and lived on those lands for a total of 82 years.
He and Swannie were married in 1940 and worked together to build his business. He was a recognized authority in forestry for his knowledge of timber management and his ability to accurately assess the value of a tract of timber and to maximize the yield--a task performed today by computer. He was active in the affairs of Chatham County and served on the Planning Board and the Forestry Extension Program. He was pleased to work with NC State in the Department of Soil Science in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. The J. Edward Booth Field Learning Laboratory facility was dedicated in 2007 in recognition of his contribution.
A man of impeccable integrity, he was known for his brilliance, his judgment, his discipline and his passion for hard work. He had a great love of people and spent his life doing for others--his greatest pleasure.
The family welcomed friends at his home at 8794 NC Hwy 751, Durham. Visitation was at Apex Funeral Home on Saturday, February 20 from 4-6 p.m. Funeral services were held Sunday, February 21 at 2 p.m. at Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church, Apex, where he was a near lifetime member and deacon in his earlier years. Burial followed in the church cemetery toward which he devoted much time and effort for its restoration and perpetuation. A reception followed after the services for those who wished to share time with the family.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to the Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church Cemetery Fund, 1288 Mt. Pisgah Church Road, Apex, NC 27523; or to the Parkwood Volunteer Fire Department, PO Box 12224, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709.
