~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We miss thee from our
home, dear mother;
We miss thee from thy place,
A shadow o’er our life is
cast,
We miss the Sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and
willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care,
Our home is dark without
thee—
We miss thee everywhere.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE

This funeral card did not
bring any of the typical matches when I searched Ancestry.com as I normally do.
So I expanded my search to google.com then genealogybank.com. On
genealogybank.com, I found two articles that looked promising.
The first article was from
Richmond Times Dispatch, Richmond , Virginia ,
dated April 26, 1904, page 2:
Mrs.
Mary Boone, widow of the late I. H. Boone, of Franklin , died this morning from dropsy, aged
seventy-nine years. She is survived by eight children. Her husband was one of
the most prominent men of Franklin .
The second article was
from the Sun of Baltimore , Maryland ,
published on April 27, 1904, page 11:
Mrs.
Mary Boon, widow of I. H. Boone, died at her home, at Boone’ Mills, early
Monday morning from dropsy, aged 79 years.
I searched FindAGrave.com
and found a tombstone for Mary Lute Wade Boone, wife of Isaac H. Boone, at Boones Mill Cemetery , Boones Mill, Franklin
County , Virginia . The inscription of the tombstone
is transcribed as follows:
Mary L.
Wife of
Isaac H. Boone
Born
Jan. 10, 1825
Died
Apr. 25, 1904
Wife of Isaac H. Boone
So everything matches
except for the year born. It shows 1925 on the tombstone and 1935 on the
memorial card. The memorial card shows her age as 79 years which from 1904 gives
us 1825 in stead of the 1835 shown on the card. So I believe this is the person
that is memorialized on the cabinet card.

information about the images that I can easily find. Most of the images are
material that I bought on www.ebay.com, estate sales, or just was given to me
by someone else. I am hoping to do this on a fairly regular basis but as much
as I plan this now life has a way that usually interferes. The information
presented is not intended to be a complete life history but a small snapshot. This
image and the information that I have included will hopefully be helpful to
other researchers. This image is part of a bigger collection that was purchased
from Ebay but I have not found my information on the purchase.]
