What Did Booth Leave?
A question sent in to The Canadian Magazine read: “Did General William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, leave a large estate when he died?”
The answer: “Booth died in 1912 in London, England, at the age of 83, leaving some property worth about $1,200 at today’s exchange rate. Another $13,250 given him in trust by an influential friend, he left to his eight children.”
