Bone.--The Committee on Memorial Services in reference to the death of the Rev. J. M. Bone, submitted the following report, which was unanimously adopted by the presbytery:
The Rev. J. M. Bone was born in Wilson county, Tenn., April 13, 1812, and came with his parents to Moultrie county, Ill., in 1828, and united with the Bethany congregation of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in 1831, and entered the ministry at the age of nineteen years, and in his early life learned the hard lessons of a pioneer preacher's life on a circuit. And in his work he traveled through the counties of Macon, Moultrie, Shelby, Fayette, Bond, Montgomery, Marion, Madison, and Christian, and was instrumental in leading many souls to the Savior, and was always faithful in his duties as a servant of God, and always attended the meetings of the Church courts when it was possible for him to do so. And he was faithful in all his duties as a Christian minister, husband, father, and brother, and at the ripe age of seventy-six years, he as a servant of God laid aside his armor in Zion's earthly warfare, and very peacefully entered the rest of the faithful in the heavenly land. Therefore, be it
Resolved, 1. That in the death of Brother Bone we as a presbytery have lost a wise counselor, a loving father in Israel, an able and faithful presbyter, a self-sacrificing and humble minister of the gospel, and the Church a most faithful son, and we a veteran soldier from our ranks.
2. That we, as a presbytery, extend our warmest sympathies to his only son, Thomas, and family, and his step sons, A. C. Boyd, of Lincoln, Ill., and M. A. Boyd, of Pomona, Kan., and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. C. G. Keowan, of Lincoln, Ill., and especially to his sister, Mrs. Freeland, the only surviving member of his father's family.
3. That we bow in meek submission to the will of our heavenly Father, and reconsecrate ourselves to him, and pray that Brother Bone's mantle may fall on some young man of ours.
4. That a page in the presbyterial records be set apart to his memory, and that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN and St. Louis Observer for publication, and also to his son Thomas, step-sons, step-daughter, and sister, Mrs. Freeland.
