EVA VORIS BOONE.

Mrs. Eva Voris Boone, wife of Elmer Boone, died at her home in Whiteland on last Friday, the 20th, of typhoid fever, after an illness of several weeks. Besides the husband, she leaves two small children. The funeral services were held on Sunday, conducted by Rev. C. Burt, of the Presbyterian church. The Whiteland Band of which the sorrowing husband is a member, attended in a body and rendered appropriate music. The re­mains were interred in the Green­wood cemetery.

Mrs. Boone was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Voris. Only a few short years had she traveled life’s path as the devoted wife of a devoted hus­band. She was held in high esteem by all who knew her and she leaves the good influences of a good, christian life a precious legacy to her relatives and friends.
