He passed away Apr. 1975. His father's name was Gladstone Boothroyd. Iv'e heard that nobody outside of the family has that last name. My ancestors came from Halifax England. His mother died when he was 9 months old. His father was the blacksmith in Otterbein. His brothers names are Chester, Owen, Butch, Donald and one they called Red. They lived in Lafayette also.
