E. M. Boone, Civic Leader, Death Victim
Prominent Business Man and Civic Leader of Toomsboro Passes after Long Illness. Buried Here
Jackson and Butts county friends of Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Boone, of Toomsboro, are sorry to learn of the death of Mr. Boone, leading business man and civic leader of Wilkinson county, which occurred Sunday afternoon at Rawlings Sanitarium in Sandersville.
The following account of hi s passing is taken from a Toomsboro dispatch in the Atlanta Journal: Toomsboro, Ga., Sept. 21. Mr. E. M. Boone, prominent citizen of Toomsboro and Wilkinson county, died Sunday afternoon at Rawlings Sanitarium, Sandersville, Ga. Mr. Boone suffered an attack of angina pectoris in the spring and had gradually grown worse since that time. Several weeks ago he went to Rawlings Sanitarium for treatment and returned home apparently much improved but soon went back to the sanitarium where he was at the time of his death.
He was reared in Toomsboro and had lived here all his life. For thirty years he had been prominently identified with business interests of the town as a merchant and cotton buyer. He also had considerable farming interests.
He was a member of the board of trustees of the Toomsboro High School for ten years, served one term as mayor of Toomsboro and was otherwise connected with the civic interests of the town and county. He united with the Toomsboro Christian Church in his youth and at the time of his death was an elder in his church and superintendent of the Sunday school.
Mr. Boone, who was a son of the late Rev. and Mrs. J . M. Boone, pioneer residents of Toomsboro, is survived by his wife, formerly Miss Dairy Thomas, of Jackson, Ga.; three children, Thomas, Sara and Mary; a brother, Mr. Alexander S. Boone, of Irwinton; two sisters, Mrs. T. M. McIntosh, of Jackson, Miss., and Mrs. Gertrude Mercer. He is also survived by four nephews, Mr. James M. Boone, Mr. Joe Wilson Boone, Mr. Edwin Boone and Col. Alexander S. Boone, Jr.
Funeral services, largely attended by relatives and friends, were conducted from the Toomsboro Christian church Monday afternoon by Rev. E. G. Orahood, of Sandersville. As a mark of esteem to this prominent citizen all business houses closed during the hour of the funeral, and the lovely floral offerings by relatives, friends and organizations attested to the love in which he was held.
The body was brought to Jackson Monday night and taken to the home of Mrs. Boone's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Thomas. The graveside services was held a t 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, with Rev. T. H. Williams, of the Jackson Methodist church, officiating. The pallbearers were his brothers-in-law, Mr. T. M. McIntosh and Mr. K. N. Stephens, and his four nephews, Col. Alexander S. Boone, Jr., Mr. James M. Boone, Mr. Joe Wilson Boone and Mr. Edwin Boone. Interment was in the Jackson city cemetery.
