BOOTH: He was, he was, I think it's somewhat of a dirty blonde, like, and we, we, he had a girlfriend when he left. And when he came back, his girlfriend, like a lot of stories, his girlfriend was married. And he, he, the one thing that the war left him with was bad feet because of -- TIM: Trench foot. FRANCIS A. BOOTH: -- being in the trenches over in England, I believe it was, in deep water. And once in a, so Uncle Clyde, the brother, had a little house there. And Johnny lived in it for a while. And then he started to drinking a little. I remember he came over to my house when my grandmother came to live with us after my mother died, and he was drinking a little bit. And my grandmother said, You go right back to your house and don't come back to see me until you get okay. Gene Harris: That was his mother, Mary Louise Barrett? FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Yeah. So, so he wasn't a bad guy. And then later someone, I don't know, it was Gary maybe, who said he saw a picture of a base- -- he was good at ba- -- softball or baseball, I guess it was, and it had John's name, John -- Gene Harris: He played for -- FRANCIS A. BOOTH: -- BOOTH in Surry County. TIM: -- a local baseball team in Smithfield that he played some baseball for. Gene Harris: We're still discussing John BOOTH? TIM: Right. FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Uh-huh. TIM: He was a, he was a bachelor. He never married the girl that he -- He went to the service and went to World War I, went to France. When he came back, however long he was there, she had met someone else and married. And he never married, he never dated or married again, did he? He never dated anybody -- FRANCIS A. BOOTH: I don't know, but my grandmother said that the reason that he did the, the drinking was because of, of the, what they gave him, drug, I guess, what do you call it -- TIM: For his feet? FRANCIS A. BOOTH: -- for his feet. Yeah. TIM: Uh-huh. FRANCIS A. BOOTH: It started like that.
