The Intelligencer, Lexington, Mo. 3-30-1889: THE TOMB. March 18, 1889, at the residence of W. Boone Major, near Aullville, in Freedom township, Lafayette county, Mo., of cancer, Col. JOHN P. BOONE aged 72 years, 3 months and 15 days.
Col. Boone was born in Fayette county, Kentucky, December 3, 1816, and resided in Frankfort and Lexington until the year 1853, when he removed to Laconia, Arkansas, and engaged in the mercantile business until the outbreak of the war when he entered the confederate service and served with distinction until the close of the war, when he returned to Kentucky and lived there several years; then he went to Nashville, Tenn., as clerk of the Maxwell Hotel for two or three years when he returned to Laconia and re-embarked in business and remained there until 1880, when he came to this county where he resided up to the time of his death. He was the youngest child of Major Wm. Boone and Elizabeth Jones, and was a direct descendant of Daniel Boone the great Kentucky pioneer. He was an obedient son, a loving brother and a kind and loving uncle, and was deputy clerk of the Fayette county circuit court under Waller Bullock and Henry J. Bodley, and was deputy sheriff of Fayette county under Thomas Redd. He was well acquainted with all of Kentucky's great men, such as Henry Clay, John C. Breckenridge, Thomas Marshall and Gov. Morehead, and many others. He was an ardent democrat all his life, but was lenient to his political opponents; he was in every respect a Kentucky gentleman. He was always faithful to every trust reposed in him, and always stood by his friends in any hour of need; his hand and his purse was ever ready and open to the cry of distress and no person can ever say that Uncle Johnnie ever mistreated them, always having a kind word for the oppressed. His sufferings were intense for the last three weeks of his life, and now that the great sickle has cut him down he will be missed by all his relatives, more especially by the family of Capt. W. Boone Major, whose home has been his ever since he came to this county to live. His funeral was preached by Elder Fred Loos, of Higginsville, and a more loving and tender tribute to our departed uncle and friend, could not have been spoken by any one. His remains were followed to their last resting place in the Major burying ground and laid to rest by the side of his sister, Mrs. Jane M. Major, whom he loved so well in this life, by a large concourse of his neighbors and friends, to await the great resurrection morn when all shall come forth from their graves. Farewell dear uncle; never more on this earth shall we see thy kind face and hear thy loving voice; again, rest in peace. By his great nephew. H.A.M.
