Charles and Malinda Glascock Nute, was born in Fleming County, Kentucky Dec 8, 1860 and slept away in the dusk of Sunday Oct 7, 1945 at the age of 84 years and 10 months. She was next to the youngest of six children, all of whom preceded her in death. Her childhood was spent in Kentucky where she was well educated in private schools and had college training. She was an accomplished musician. She was married Sept 19, 1893 to Richard A. Booe in the Methodist Church in Mt. Carmel, Kentucky and shortly after they came to Yeddo to make their home where her husband was teaching school. From there they moved to Cayuga, where their first daughter, Jean, was born. Within a short time they made their home in Kingman where he was associated with the Bank of Kingman and the younger daughter, Elizabeth was born. The family moved to Richmond, Virginia in 1908 and returned to Kingman in 1911 where they remained. Mrs. Booe was a wonderful wife and mother. Her family and home came before anything else and the daughters were well educated in this Christian home. She was very intelligent and well-versed in all intellectual things in life. She spent many hours of pleasure with her newspaper and books, and she possessed a keen mind, which she kept until last moment of her life. She was a member of the Methodist Church near her home in Kentucky and retained that membership all her life. She read her Bible often, which wa sin keeping with the fine life she so enjoyed. Her interest in her flowers and her home revealed the fact that she enjoyed every day. She suffered a severe illness in November, 1944 and never fully recovered, although she was able to be up throughout the summer. A week before her death she suffered a clot on the brain which resulted in her death. Her ever-present kindness will live in the lives of her friends who she was a friend to all who knew her. – kbz
