**********************************************************************

R. R. Boone, proprietor of flouring mill, section 30, post office
Agency, was born in Harrison County, Indiana, November 5, 1816 and
in 1819, moved to Meade County, Kentucky, with his parents.  In 1837,
he removed to Missouri, but his time was divided between Missouri and
Kentucky until the spring of 1844.  His early educational advantages
were limited, but by self application he has acquired a liberal share
of scholastic information.  In 1844, he was married to Sarah E. France,
a native of Kentucky, born August 25, 1825.  The result of this marr-
iage was seven children:  Frances E., John F., Sarah E., Hiram C.,
Susan B., Mollie M. and Victoria.  The latter died November 12, 1879.
During the late war Mr. Boone sustained serious loss; he took no active
part in the events of that period, and while he never refused aid to
any sufferer who besought hospitality, he never knowingly harbored a
man of enemy to the government.  He is now the owner of 490 acres of
land, including a residence and valuable property in Agency, besides
his well known mill.  Mr. Boone never held any office; never joined 
any secret order and in his religious sentiments is very liberal. Bold
in the expression of his heterodox views, no man stands higher for 
blunt, unswerving honesty of speech and deed than R. R. Boone, the
miller.
