    1. Indiana Boone -- Omer

    3. Herman Franke Your Omer Boone dates do not match the Omer (Homer) Boone that is the son of our missing Issac/Isaih / Joseiah/ Ezra Boone. The Omer(Homer) in this line was born 24th Sept 1846 in Madison, Jefferson County , Indiana . Caroline (Brokus/Brocus) Boone was his mother . Homer was under age for the Civil War but his older brother William was a Lieutenant in Company G of the Indiana 33rd Volunteer Infantry . Homer became a "drummer boy" for his brothers Company and they both served over four+ years in Battle of Atlanta, Shermans march to the sea , and the Grand Parade at the end of the war. Their mother Caroline Boone applied for pensions based on her son's service. After returning from the war Homer married Jeannie Dunlap who was born July 1853 in North Vernon ,Jennings County, Indiana. He worked on O&M railroad as did most of the other Indiana Boones . He later moved to Louisville , Ky . and in the early 1900's married a second wife Anna or Joanna Cunningham from Ky and they had two children, daughter Geneva and son Omer (not Homer but really Omer on the birth certificate) born about 1905/06. Homer died in 1939 at the age of 93. He lived his last years in the "Old Soldiers Home " in Louisville , Ky. He and his wife Anna are buried in Louisville , Ky. I do not have a follow up on the two children. Sorry our "Omers " didn't match but thanks for your interest and reply. Arthur D. Bartlett Artbart@xlence.com
