Bookmyer was liv­ing in Phi­la­del­phia, Penn­syl­vania, in 1921, and in Lands­downe, Penn­sylv­an­ia, in 1947.

At va­ri­ous times, he was a sec­re­ta­ry to Charles Al­ex­an­der, a Field Se­cre­ta­ry for the Am­er­ican Bi­ble So­cie­ty, Cor­res­pond­ing Sec­re­ta­ry of a branch of the Na­tion­al As­so­cia­tion of Lo­cal Preach­ers, and Su­per­in­tend­ent of the Phi­la­del­phia Dis­trict of the An­ti-Sa­loon League.

We sus­pect he is Ed­win H. Book­my­er (1873–1956), who is bu­ried in Drex­el Hill, Penn­syl­van­ia.
