Sister BOONE was born in Franklin Co.,
Arkansas, March 3Oth, 1886. became a
member of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, Nov 1858, of which she remained
an exemplary member up to the time of her
death. On the 3lst of October, 1854, she
was married to Squire Boone, Esq, a
prominent young lawyer, formerly of Da-
viess Co., KY, but now of Ozark. Arkan-
sas, with whom she lived in the full enioy-
ment of that connubial bliss that results
from devoted attachment between hus-
band and wife.
But she is now gone No omore will her
cheerful presence and pleasant kindness
bring joy and happiness to the hearts of
her many devoted friends. But they mourn
not as those without hope. They. know
that their loss is her eternal gain, for she
died as she had lived, a striking illustra-
ton OF the happy influence of gospel grace
Her death has cast gloom over large
circle of devoted friends. for none knew her
but to love her, but they look forward to
the time when they shall meet her in the
land of the blest
To her devoted husband, promising little
boy, two angelic little girls, and afflicted
friends, we tender our heartfelt sympathy
May God give them grace to bear thei. Sc
we're afiilction. d. p. THOMAS.
