(Excerpt from the History of Mercer County; 1882)
"WASHINGTON BOONE, grocer, was born in Medina county, Ohio, February 22, 1837. His parents' names were Hezekiah and Sarah A. Boone. He left Ohio with his parents in 1848, they settling in Illinois, in 1850 they moved to Mercer county. At that time there were not more than a dozen families in the township. The subject of this sketch was raised upon a farm, but learned the shoemaking trade, at which he worked for many years, when he embarked in trade, being now engaged in the grocery business. He was married February, 1867, to Miss Belinda Baxter, and they have had two children: Wm., aged fourteen, and Lois, aged twelve years. Mr. B. is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and politically a republican; he cast his first vote for John C. Fremont."
