Mrs. Mary Bruyn Wynkoop Booth, member of an old New York family and widow of Frederick A. Booth, died at her home, 27 Washington Square North, Wednesday, after an illness of several months. Mrs. Booth was in her eighty-fifth year.
    The daughter of the late Francis Sylvester and Sarah Frelinghuysen Elmendorf Wynkoop, she was born in 1849 in the family home at Twenty-first street near Broadway, close by the old Goelet farm. Her parents were engaged in coffee importing and in handling real estate. The family at one time owned large portions of lower Manhattan.
    Mrs. Booth married the late Frederick A. Booth when both were in their early twenties. He died in June 1913. They were both active in the Presbyterian Church, particularly in missionary work, and belonged to the First Presbyterian Church, Fifth Avenue and Twelfth Street.
    Mr. and Mrs. Booth traced their family lines back to the Colonial period. One of Mrs. Booth's ancestors, Cornelius Wynkoop, came from Holland in 1625 and was among the first settlers of what is now Albany.
    Mrs. Booth leaves no near relatives. She had lived alone with her three servants for many years. Her sister, the late Henrietta Wynkoop, died some time ago.
    A funeral service will be conducted by the Rev. Dr. J. V. Moldenhawer tomorrow at 11 A.M. in the First Presbyterian Church. Burial will take place in Woodlawn Cemetery.
