BOOTH

While looking around Jasper Co. genweb, I found some info on a Leonard Booth, I was hoping some kind soul would please go take a picture of the tombstone in Sam's Cemetery and post it to findagrave for me please. I am looking for a death date.
Thank you for your help

The following is the info that I found:

"A third, on the stone of Leonard Booth: ’Died by the hand of Morris Spangler.’

"Research in an old newspaper tell us that Spangler, aged 17, and another youth had followed booth’s son to the Booth residence. An argument rupted, and Booth’s son called to his father for help. When the elder Booth joined the fracus, Spangler, ’Raising a heavy piece of fence stake, struck Mr. Booth a powerful blow upon the head. It crushed through the skull, literally braining him on the spot.’
