Mr. Cosby

If you are willing to share a copy, I would also appreciate receiving a copy of the Time Picayune article (June 30, 1923) on A B Booth for my CW files. If possible to share, I can be reached at don.gayle@frontier.com.

I did find the following on the "Louisiana Biography & Obituary Index" of the New Orleans Public Library (on-line).

Booth, Andrew Bradford
Date of Birth: 1844-05-04
Death date: 1923-06-27
Age: 79 years
Next of kin: Emma Lucinda Brown Booth (1st wife)

Emma Eugenia Burnett Booth (2nd wife)
Notes: Very active in Confederate Verterans affairs and in the Louisiana

Obituary citation(s):
1) Times-Picayune, 1923-06-28, Pg. 1 col. 2

Note: Illustrated
2) Times-Picayune, 1923-06-28, Pg. 2 col. 7
3)Times-Picayune, 1923-06-29, Pg. 2 col. 6

Biographical Reference(s):
1) Evans. Confederate Military History. v. 10, p. 356. (Note: the Louisiana volume is 13 in the extended edition.) The call no. at NOPL is 973.7.
2) Kendall. History of New Orleans. v.3, p. 1135.
3) Patrick, W. K. Club Men of Louisiana in Caricature. 1917. p. 353.
4) Peeler. The Standard Blue Book of the United States of America. 1917
5) Who's Who in Louisiana and Mississippi. 1918. p. 31.

I have submitted a request for copies of the three obituary articles mentioned (which do not include the June 30th article) to the New Orleans Public Library. When I receive them I will share them if you like. Also, I note that there are two Masonic Cemeteries in New Orleans (#1 - 270+ burials; #2 - 34 burials), but Louisiana Find-A-Grave.com does not show a gravesite for Andrew Bradford Booth (1844-1923 - which may only mean that there is no gravestone or it is too degraded to read). Contact with New Orleans Masonic organizations will probably be necessary to locate the burial site.

Very best

Don Parker
