Viewing Frank W. Booth (1857-1938).

Frank W. Booth (1857-1938).

Frank Wilson Booth graduated Yale University in June 1880, moved to Minneapolis in December and began what must have been a prized apprenticeship in the Lochren, McNair & Gilfillan law firm. After being admitted to the bar on April 17, 1882, he practiced law in Minneapolis for many years. He died on May 5, 1938, at age 81. In memorial services on February 11, 1939, in the Court House, Adolph Anderson recalled his friend:

"He treated the members of his profession with the greatest respect and friendliness. He was essentially a modest man. He thought upon the things which are good and beautiful, and we do not so much sorrow at his death as rejoice in the fact that we knew him and loved him and that his name will always stand high on the Honor Roll of Hennepin County attorneys."
