An article (including photo of the couple) appeared in the
Dallas Morning
News Sunday, November 12, 1933, as follows:
"Stories of exploits of pioneering members of their family from Colonial
times until the last wilderness was conquered in Texas were in order as
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. (Joel Hale) Boone celebrated their fiftieth wedding
anniversary at the home of their daughter, Mrs. H. M. Aber, 1025 King's
Highway.
Mr. Boone, 78, is the great nephew of the famous pioneer and trailblazer,
Daniel Boone. He was born near where the city of Uvalde now stands while
Indians still considered that territory their hunting ground. Uvalde
stands
now on land that was part of the ranch then owned by Mr. Boone's father,
Jesse Boone. Chief Kickapoo and Chief Lapan were the leaders of two
tribes
of Indians that Mr. Boone recalls made frequent raids on the herds of
ranchers during his childhood and youth. Mr. Boone was engaged in
several
skirmishes and narrowly escaped death or serious injury in one or two
surprise attacks.
Mrs. Boone, 72, was the former Miss Sallie (Sarah) Lenora Fowler and was
born near Birmingham, Ala. Her family moved to Texas when she was 10
years old.
She married Mr. Boone at Tyler on November 5, 1883.
Mr. Boone engaged in ranching and stock farming for a number of years.
He
retired from active pursuits some years ago. They make their home with
their daughter, Mrs. Aber.
They have six children, "Dan" (Luther Clements) Boone and T. E. (Troy)
Boone of Waco, the Rev. C. L. (Claude Leon) Boone of Thorndale, Mrs. R.
M.
(Bertha Boone) Moore of Fort Worth, Mrs. W. R. (Ruth Boone) Presler of
Alpine, and
Mrs. (Cleo Boone) Aber, and seventeen grandchildren."
