General Notes: Husband - James Milholland Boone

---

He passed his youth on the home farm, where he received a good education. After his marriage, he lived in Canton township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, until 1871, when he removed to a place in Buffalo township, which was situated on the line of the B. & O. R. R., Chartiers Station.

He was a "Christian man, benevolent, almost to a fault. He believed that an abundance of worldly goods is intrusted to some men by the Creator for the purpose of doing good, and that "he that giveth to the poor, lendeth to the Lord"-a Bible precept to which he strictly adhered. The truth of a companion saying: "Cast thy bread upon the waters, and after many days it shall return to thee," was forcibly illustrated in the life of Mr. Boone. He had an abundance of property which was acquired by industry and enterprise, and the advancement of the Master's cause was ever uppermost in his mind. His earnest efforts in the church will long be remembered. Some men are practically dead even while existing, and others, though their "tenement of clay" has crumbled to its primitive dust, yet live in the lives and hearts of others, exerting a powerful influence for good. We do not exaggerate the simple truth when we affirm that James M. Boone was a good example of the latter class, and none can estimate the good inculcated by his life on both the present and future of Washington county. He passed away after a protracted illness of three months." [CBRWC, 831]
