- Emma Booth (The Salvation Army)
Emma Booth (January 8, 1860 – October 28, 1903) was the fourth child of William and Catherine Booth.
As a teenager, Emma took charge of The Salvation Army's first training school for women. On April 10, 1888, Emma Booth married Major Frederick Tucker, the son of a rich, British family living in India. They stayed for some time in India, however Emma Tucker started to become ill, therefore the couple moved to London. They worked for Salvation Army International Headquarters until they were appointed to the United States, where they replaced Emma's brother Ballington and his wife Maud. Their primary work was prison visitation and carrying out the farm colony experiment expressed in William Booth's book "In Darkest England And The Way Out".
In 1903, at the age of 43, Emma Tucker was killed in a train accident on her way back from Amity Colony in Colorado.
