LAST CALL CAME FOR
BENJAMIN H. BOONE
----------
Well-Known Resident Of Fairland
Answered Final Summons This Morning
----------
WAS MEXICAN WAR VETERAN --
And Was Last One in the County to Be Called
----------
Was a Native of This County
Leaves Wife and Eight Children
----------
Deceased was the last surviving Mexican war veteran, of the county, Capt. H. M. Endsley, who died only a few days ago, being next to the last. Mr. Boone joined the army when only a mere lad and fought bravely and gallantly during the entire conflict, receiving an honorable discharge at the end. He was a great friend of the late Capt. Endsley and it was indeed a pleasure to any one to see the two old comrades get together and talk over the times of their boyhood days.
Nearly all of Mr. Boone's life had been spent in Moral township and he had lived there except for a few years, when he resided in Illinois, all his life until he moved to Fairland fifteen years ago, where he has since resided with his family. Mr. Boone was a devoted Christian, being a member of the Baptist church at Fairland. He had been a member of the Baptist church for more thatn thirty-five years, being a member of the East Union Baptist church in Moral township until a few years ago he had his membership changed to Fairland. He was a man loved and esteemed by all his acquaintances and his death will bring sadness and sorrow to many homes.
Deceased is survived by his aged wife and eight children, the latter being Mrs. Louise Eiler and Mrs. Anzil Gaddis, of Shelbyville, Illinois; Mrs. W. B. Mount, of Newark, Ohio; Dr. B. H. Boone, of Acton; Mrs. Charles Wood, of Fountaintown; W. T. and M. C. Boone, of Greenfield, and Mrs. Wesley Monroe, of Waldron. On account of not receiving word from one of his daughters, the day for the funeral has not yet been chosen, but will be either Saturday or Sunday. The Rev. Buchanan, of Indianapolis, will officiate, assisted by Rev. W. T. Markland. Interment in charge of Ralph J. Edwards.
