Mathilda Barton Booth

Grahamstown Journal 14 June 1856: BIRTH at Hammonds, Fort Beaufort, on the 4th inst, Mrs. B. BOOTH, second daughter of the Hon. R. GODLONTON Esq, M.L.C, of twins (a boy and a girl). The mother only survived their birth about two hours, leaving a husband and family to deplore the loss of one who in the several relations of a daughter, a wife, a mother, and a friend, has seldom been excelled. Few in early life have been called to sustain so many severe trials as the deceased, and fewer still have borne them with that unyielding fortitude which in her case ensured her the high regard of all who knew her. Her memorial is on High, while her name and character will ever live in the cherished remembrance of her family and friends.

The tombstone photo that many MyHeritage trees have on Mathilda's profile actually belongs to Sir Benjamin Booth's second wife Maria.
