Washington County, Arkansas
BOONE, Leror Bernoulli - Died, at Boone's Grove, Washington county
on Tuesday, the 16th day of March 1875 after one weeks illness, Leror
Bernoulli Boone, aged 20 years. The deceased was a son of Hon. B.F. Boone,
who twice represented this county in the Arkansas Legislature and was
killed in the battle of Prairie Grove. Young Boone gave promise of superior
manhood; he was the main support of a widowed mother and had already
established a character for industry and integrity second to none. His untimely
death will fall heavily upon a large circle ofrelatives and friends by
whom he was highly esteemed for his many noble attributes. [Fayetteville \I·
