Salvation Army Founder General Booth Dies at 93
London Aug 21 General William Booth founder and chief of the Salvation Army died last evening after a cataract operation in May. He was unconscious for forty eight hours prior to death. Bramwell Booth and wife and their daughter Commissioner Monard and Colonel Witching were present. Booth spoke of promises of God in his last conscious moments and messages from around the world poured in. His successor had been chosen but not named publicly. Booth was born in Nottingham April 10 1829 and founded the Army after reforming his ministry to reach the very poor and criminal. The movement faced hostility from West End clergy but grew to include 127 officers and eighty one corps by 1878. The Queen reportedly approved his work in temperance and religion. The article notes a rift with his son Ballington over the Volunteers of America.
