NEGRO PIANIST DIES

iWARRENSBURG, Mo-, Oct. o.
Blind Boone, So, famous negro pianist,
died here tonight while visiting his
half brother Harry Hendrix. Death
was caused by acute dilation OF the
heart.
The body will be taken to Colum-
bia, Mo-, BoCne's home, for burial.
Boone had appeared in concert in
virtually every city of consequence IN
the United States. He also gave con-
certs in many foreign countries.
Boone was born in federal army
camp near Miami, Mo-, in March,
1854 His father was drum major
in the union army, and it was from
him he gained his love for music
Brain fever when he was six years old
robbed him of his eyesight.
It was estimated that he was earn
ing an average of $4,000 annually.
Careful investments in real estate had
gained him considerable fortune.
Boone prided himself in being able
to reproduce any piece of music after
hearing it only once.
Probably his most noted composition
was "The Marshfield Tornado" writ
ten in 1880.
