In the News (Thu 16 Feb 12)

  
  George Gough Booth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Gough Booth (1864-1949) was the publisher of the privately-held Evening News Association, which at one time held newspaper and broadcasting properties located from coast to coast.
Booth got his start in the newspaper industry as the son-in-law of James E. Scripps (who, in turn, was the older half-brother and one-time partner of E.W. Scripps).
Booth was an avid student of the Arts and Crafts movement and, together, brothers Ralph and George Booth were major benefactors of the Detroit Institute of Arts.

 House and Gardens
George Gough Booth (1864-1949), a native of Toronto, was an owner of a successful iron-working company in Windsor, Ontario, when he wed Ellen Warren Scripps (1863-1948), the eldest child of James Edmund Scripps, the founder of the Detroit News.
As joyful as their home life in Detroit was, Ellen and George Booth longed to establish themselves in the country, where they could play out their dreams of developing a fine estate on a far larger scale than was possible in the city.
Booth’s work did not go unnoticed; by the end of the early 1920s, Cranbrook House was being hailed nationally for its beauty and for the exquisite quality and caliber of its many treasures.

 The Life of General William Booth
Gough described it last night, as next to hell itself, but the Lord is able to keep him from falling, and I have confidence in Him, and I intend to work more in this good Cause.
One perceives that an influence of the sweetest, purest, and most mystical character is at work, with all the quiet confidence of spiritual strength, on a nature primitive, headstrong, unruly, self-satisfied, and yet self-tortured by doubts — a nature capable of greatness but susceptible also of ruin and failure.
One sees that the mothering of William Booth has begun; that the embrace of a milder and a purer spirit is beginning to enfold itself about his life; that he is conscious of an inferiority which she supplies, and she in him of a superiority which she studies to enhance.
