Boone County Republican 1878
Thos. P. Main, an old and well known citizen of Boone, died on Saturday night last, at his residence. Mr. Main was 80 years, one month and 27 days old, and had resided in Boone for twelve years, removing from Bainbridge, New York, here. He was married three times and had fifteen children born unto him, ten of whom are now living. Three of his children reside here—Hawley Main, Mrs. E.G. Wood and Emma Main. His two sons, Charles and William now residents of Galesburg, Illinois, and conductors on the C.B. & Q.R.R., were here to attend their father's funeral. He was a conscientious Christian gentleman, being a member of the M.E. church for over forty years. His funeral was preached on Monday at the M.E. Church by Rev. A.P. Hull, and the body laid to its final rest in Linwood Cemetery. An affliction of the kidneys, complicated with those ailments incident to old age, is what took him off. He died without a struggle and bore his ills with great patience and forbearance.
