From The North Midland Times newspaper, 15 July 1948:
"Obituary - The Late Mr. G. Booth. On Tuesday morning, July 13, at the North Midland District Hospital, an old and highly respected resident of the Carnamah district in the person of Mr. George Booth, passed away. Although the deceased had suffered indifferent health for some years, of late he had felt much better and his sudden death came as a shock to his relatives and many friends. The late Mr. Booth spent the greater period of his younger life shearing on the Murchison. He eventually settled down in Carnamah about 33 years ago and ranks amongst the earliest settlers in this district. He worked for a time on the construction of the Midland railway. Deceased was a keen supporter of the local football and was a great lover of horses. He leaves a widow, three sons and three daughters and six grand-children."
