OBITUARY
On Friday morning, May 23, 1884, of pneumonia, the spirit of Mrs. Patience Owsley Boone took its flight for a better and purer world.
Sister Boone was born Oct. 22, 1828 and married quite young to Mr. George G. Boone, who still survives her. She became a member of the Christian church early in life, was earnest in her profession, loving to visit the house of God and engage in worship, often going there when hardly able to sit up, so poor was her health the greater part of her life.
In all the relations of life she was lovely in spirit and action. As a wife and mother she was ever genial, pure and true. In her death the orphan and stranger have lost a true friend. None ever went to her for aid without their appeal being responded to.
But her work is done - we trust well done. May her mantle (not of sickness and sorrow) fall upon her children: may they imitate her virtues. A genuine feeling of sympathy goes out to him whose companion she was for more than 40 years and who so keenly feels the irreparable loss. During her short illness the intensity of pain was unabated, but not a murmur escaped her lips - always grateful to her friends who ministered to her wants. All that medical science could suggest was brought to bear for her relief, but the Master called and she was taken to His home on high. To the stricken husband, son and daughter we offer our holiest sympathies and commit them to the Lord, whom she loved to serve, knowing He alone can comfort and sustain them
