Charles Joseph Booker (3 June 1865 – 4 June 1925) was a member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.[1]
Booker was born in Maryborough, Queensland, the son of Charles Edward Sydney[2] Booker and his wife Margaret (née Shea).[3] [1] He attended Ipswich Grammar School and later on was a Director of Walkers Limited.[1]
In 1891, Booker married Jessie Irene Carter (died 1937)[3] in Sydney and together had one son. He died in Warra in June 1925[1] and his funeral proceeded from Lumeah, his Graceville residence, to St Matthews Church of England Cemetery.[4]
After unsuccessfully standing for the two member seat of Maryborough at the 1907 Queensland state elections,[5] Booker won the seat two years later in 1909.[6] Maryborough was reduced to a one-member constituency for the 1912 Queensland state elections and he then won the seat of Wide Bay, holding it until his defeat by Andrew Thompson in 1918.[7]
Booker was also a member of the Perry Shire Council.[1]
