Marian Billups Booth (4 May 1864 – 5 January 1937), better known as Marie Booth, was the third daughter of Catherine and William Booth, the Founder of The Salvation Army. Unusually for the Victorian era, all of William and Catherine Booth's children survived into adulthood.〔(Marian Billups Booth on 'The Salvation Army International Heritage Centre' website )〕 Marie, however, had an accident at an early age that caused her to have convulsions thus making her an invalid;〔(Harold Begbie, ''LIFE of WILLIAM BOOTH FOUNDER and FIRST GENERAL of the SALVATION ARMY'' Vol I (1920) )〕 therefore, she was the only one of the Booth's children who did not regularly serve in The Salvation Army. She was, however, given the permanent rank of Staff Captain.〔 Her sister Evangeline Booth often took care of her, and is said to have gotten into trouble for reprimanding a governess who had scolded Marie for being slow with her lessons. Marie was often pictured at family occasions such as her father's funeral in 1912. Marian Billups Booth died in 1937 aged 72 and is buried with her parents in Abney Park Cemetery in Stoke Newington.〔 ==Gallery== Image:marian booth marker.JPG|Marian Booth's memorial tablet on her parents' grave 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marie Booth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
