Okay, some last little bits...

By 1922, Caroline E. (Booth) Oldfield had remarried to Otis Plant Cutting, adopted son of John W. and Lydia J. (Hendricks) Cutting, and was residing in Seattle, Washington.  Otis was born 28 February 1875 in Mossyrock, Lewis County, Washington.

Gertrude and Richard Matheson had one daughter, Gertrude, born in 1908.

Harry Booth's first wife was Della Wight, daughter of Charles H. and Mary J. (Sherman) Wight.  Della was born 17 November 1874 in Detroit; died of breast cancer, 17 June 1918 at her home, 72 Lothrop Avenue, Detroit.

Anna Booth married a George W. Irwin, and was living in Detroit in 1922; no further information.

As far as I can tell, that's it...

Did a little more poking around...

Caroline E. Booth, born February 1869 in England, married, 6 July 1892 in Detroit, Walter J. Oldfield, son of James C. and Anna L. (Coots) Oldfield.  Walter was born in September 1868 in New York.  Two known children: Elsie H. (born 9 October 1893 in Detroit) and Gertrude Anna (born 24 January 1902 in Detroit).

Gertrude Booth, born December 1872 in England, married, 17 June 1896 in Detroit, Richard J. Matheson, son of Alex and Lizzie (Smith) Matheson.  Richard was born October 1867 in Canada.  No known children.  Gertrude married, secondly, 11 November 1920 in Detroit, Harry B. Harner, son of Martin B. and Julia (Chance) Harner.  Harry was born circa 1879 in Detroit.

Frank Charles Booth, born 20 February 1875 in Bay County, Michigan, married, 18 November 1903 in Detroit, Mary Jane Avis, daughter of Joseph and Rose A. (Le Croix) Avis.  Mary was born circa 1878 in Canada.  No known children.

I did not find a marriage record for Anna, who must have been born in May 1876, as there is a birth record for Frank which gives his date of birth as 20 February 1875...

According to his death certificate, Osmond Whitley Booth (middle name spelled this way in the death certificate), son of John and _____ Booth, was born 25 March 1848 in England; died 26 February 1918 at 22 Willis Avenue East, Detroit, Michigan.  He married, circa 1868 in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, Henrietta Mitchell, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Atkinson) Mitchell.  According to her death certificate, she was born 25 December 1849 in England; died 15 October 1915 at 680 Second Street, Detroit.

Their son, Harry Booth, was born 2 January 1870 in Leeds; died 8 February 1932 at Detroit Receiving Hospital, Detroit.  Harry was married twice: once to a woman whose surname was Wight; secondly, 18 November 1922 in Detroit, Cordelia Kuhn, daughter of Charles E. and Johanna C. (Erdmann) Kuhn, and fraternal twin of Dora L. Kuhn, who married John W. Turner.  Delia was born 26 July 1889 at Stark Station, Livonia Township, Wayne County, Michigan; died 28 December 1952 at Fresno Community Hospital, Fresno, Fresno County, California.  After Harry's death, Delia married, secondly, John T. Riley.  Harry and his first wife had one son, Osmond W., born 9 January 1899 in Illinois; died 3 August 1970 in Lake County, California.  He married a Dorothy _____, and they had two sons on the 1930 census:  (*).  Harry and Delia had no children.

Osmond and Henrietta had several other children, some born in Bay City, Michigan.  I haven't really explored this all that much as my interest in this family is via the Kuhn connection.
