He died in January 1965. At one time he was a prominent oil man, I have been told. His father was Frank Eugene Booth, and his mother was Ida May Smith. John was born in Illinois. I suspect that he was born in the late 1800's but don't know when. The family moved from Kankakee, Illinois to Joplin, MO prior to 1910, and then moved to Vinita, OK around 1910. John's nickname was "Red". He worked in the family Taxi business at least into the mid 1920's. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jim Davis
