William W. Boone? Spencer M.
'Boone-. .
In the year 1858, one February ni^ht,"
there came- an angel to the home of Mr
and-Mfs. Spencer M. Boone, bringing- a
little fcabe? a son ? to cheer and
brighten their lives.
Thev named him William Webb.
Heaven and earth seemed to unite to
make this child a joy and blessing to
his parents. Always fair and Ptrong,
gentle, obedient, and kind he grew
i.q>ore-8? as the years passed on.
V/hcr manhood came he four da new
love minis 'l\eVrt, and in the fall of
1SS8 be was married to his cousin, Miss
Lotila Stoke*. Never has this writer
seen a more beautiful loye p.rid confi
dence than that between- this husband
and wife. From their union were born
three noble, manly sons.
'Tia useless to attempt a description
nf the home-life of the husband and
father. These are the words of one
who taught in his home four years. "I
never kn?w him speak an unkind word
to a member of hi? family, not even to
a servant."
N earing his (iifty-sixth year, he was
still to his a?ed father and mother a
loving, thoughtful, obedient son. To
his brother and sisters he was the
sane kind, helpful eldsr brother; to his
neighbors, always the accomodate
friend ; to his church, the ever faithful ,
dsvoted member, modest and unassnm
'"ST. 7*t always true.
On the evening of the 27th of Octo
ber, 1912, another angel came, ? this
time the Angel of Death ? to bear his
pare spirit to realms celestial.
Without a moment's warning he left
as, our hearts crashed and bleeding,
wondering, weeping, laughing to eall
baek, yet knowing that God doth all
things well.
Three days later the dear old fatherlin
gered, then he, Too, was called, from a
bed of intensent suffering, to join his
beloved son, tnus leaving us with m
doable sorrow oh oar hearts.
Dear, gentle eld father 1 Weuld that
1 alight say something worthy of the
life I have seen you live for the past
eleven years, since it hns been my
privilege to know yom.
I keve seen in you a keart big aa the
world; a cheerful, happy nature that
would make sunshine follow you, even
through the dark. I have seen your
passionate devotion to her who walked
beside yon nearly fifty-eight years and
with h?r willing, hands ministered to
comfort till (lad called yon; yes, and
your great love for yonr chil
dren and grand-children, your tender
thought for eyery creature in your ken.
All this has made its impress on my
heart and made me long for higher,
nobler things.
Then 1 have seen the faith that bore
you through long mosiths, aye, yean of
suffering, and in thaae last hours of
agony and grief sustained you. Can
Sie who sees all this deofct-OodL-aad
eavsn? ' Ah, so! These are the fruit*
i|.ijt^w*l?.- ' " -? ? "
We caaeot understand why G?d'*
and we know "twill not be long, our
journey hers, "?then we, too, shall be
gath?tf* ? the arms of the eternal
