Biography:
JOHN ALLEN BOON, who was born in New York, April 28, 1850 and died May 7, 1901, in Appleton, Wisconsin, was a son of George W. and Charlotte A. (Smith) Boon, natives of New York who came to Wisconsin in 1851, the journey being made by boat to Milwaukee, and thence by wagon on to Omro. The family spent a few months at that point, after which they removed to Outagamie county, and located in Greenville township, at a time when the country was all covered with timber, wild game abounded and Indians still lurked in the territory. Experiencing all of the hardships and privations of the early pioneers, George W. Boon cleared up his farm from the wilderness, and succeeded in converting it into a fertile, productive property, on which he lived until his death, January 2, 1898. Mr. Boon had eight children, two by a former wife: Mrs. Lois Johnson, a resident of Washington; Mrs. Sarah Rose, of Oshkosh, Wisconsin; Francis, of Shawano, Wisconsin; John A.; Mrs. Josephine H. Lent, a resident of California: Mrs. Henrietta Clark, of Spokane, Washington; Mrs. Mary Nichols of Seymour, Wisconsin; and Marion G., who died in infancy. John A. Boon received his early education in the schools of Outagamie county, and grew up on his father's farm in Greenville township, his boyhood being spent much the same as that of other farmers' boys in his section. He helped to clear the property, and as soon as he was able started to do his share of cultivating the farm, on which he lived until his death, after which it was sold by his widow, who now lives retired in Appleton. Mr. Boon's father was a member of the LeRoy Cavalry (Home Guards) in 1843, in Jefferson county, New York, and was always interested in military matters, but at the time of the outbreak of the Civil War, ill health caused his rejection as a soldier in the Union army, although he attempted to enlist. On March 29, 1879, John A. Boon was married to Wilma E. Diener, daughter of Henry J. and Anna B. Diener, now living retired in Appleton, and three children were born to this union: Leonard F. a graduate of the State University, and now engaged in civil engineering at Madison, Wisconsin; Marian E., who married Herman F. Schroeder, manager of a 1,200-acre farm at Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, has one daughter, Lillian; and Henry G., who is attending Lawrence University .
