J. W. Bone, aged 60
years, died a the family home in the Foote community Tuesday evening at 8
o'clock, after an illness of two weeks of pneumonia. As he had been very low
since first taking his bed with this fever, his death was not altogether
unexpected. Mr. Bone was a native of this state, having spent his younger
days in East Texas. He and his family for several years living at Hill Town,
Denton county. They moved from there to the Viney Grove community about
seven miles northeast of McKinney, where they lived for two or three years.
From here they moved to Foote, where they have resided for the past ten or
twelve years. Deceased was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church.
He was a loving husband and father, a kind neighbor and a loyal citizen. He
is survived by his wife and five children, three sons and two daughters as
follows: Jesse Bone, one of the clerks in Matthews Bros. Store here; Robert
Bone of Denton, and George Bone of Foote; Mrs. Lou Barnett of Blue Ridge,
and Mrs. Mamie Bowley of Foote. Mr. Bone also leaves two sisters to mourn
his demise, Mrs. R. L. Ray of this city and Mrs. Bob Fowler of Denton
county.
The interment was made at
Hill Town this afternoon. We extend condolence to the bereaved ones in this
sad hour of sorrow.
