DEATH  OF  WILLIAM  E.  BONE
----------
He "Lived to See His Children's Children,
and Peace Upon Israel"
----------

          Once more the shadow of death hovered over our little city, and another of our pioneer citizens, an honorable man, a Christian gentleman, kind parent and a fond husband,  W. E. Bone,  has paid the last debt of nature.  Of a quiet and retiring disposition, his many qualities were known only to the select few who gathered about him.  None knew him but to respect, none neared him but to love.
          Born in Warren county Ohio, September 2, 1810, he moved to Shelby county in 1825, when but a lad of fifteen years, he saw the home of his adoption grow from a wilderness to one of wealth, civilization, and a populous district.  Twice married, seven children, three boys and two girls survive him, among whom one is present postmaster.
          He was an active and consistent member of the Christian Church where his funeral services will be held on Sunday, at 2 p.m., by Rev. J. H. Edwards, assisted by Rev. J. M. Land, of Harrison, Ohio.  He was also an honored member of Shelby Lodge No. 28 F. and A.M., and his remains will be attended by that body to the cemetery.
