Joseph David Boone
I have an old photograph of Joe BOONE which was taken at the Routh Studio in Colorado Springs, CO. The photograph was taken some time in the early 1900's with Joe appearing to be in his 20's or 30's at the time. I believe that this is a photograph of Joseph D. BOONE and have gathered the following information regarding Joe and his family:
Joseph “Joe” David. BOONE was b. 6 Jun 1871 in Paducah, KY to parents Richard T. BOONE (1823-1893) Lucy Blackford WILLETT or WILLET (1831-1898). Joe was one of 13 children born to this couple including John Wesley; Sarah E.; Martha J.; Samuel A.; Eli Gaither; Daniel; H. B.; Elvira; Joseph R.; Luella “Ella”; Margaret “Maggie” Lee; Joe; May; and Frank Clifford BOONE, all born between 1847 and 1879. Some information suggests that Lucy was not the mother of all these children, but it isn’t clear.
Joe married Mary “Mollie” Audria FULLER (1872-1940) on 20 Jan 1909 in Kansas City, MO. The couple was living in Colorado Springs, CO in 1910 and Joe was an undertaker in Colorado City, CO. It appears that Joe later moved to California and was a Mortician and worked for the Edward Bros. Colonial Mortuary in Los Angeles, CA and died 28 Apr 1951 in Los Angeles, CA and is buried in the Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery there.
I am hoping to get the photograph to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this BOONE Family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,
Shelley
