She was, at the time, one of the oldest women in town. Her story is one of historical interest. Phebe was the daughter of Isaac and Esther Boone [2], born June 27, 1827 in Adams County, Pa., nine miles from Gettysburg. When she was four months old, her parents brought the family to Salem. Her brothers were Col. T. C. Boone and James Boone. Isaac, her father, was a cousin of the famous Daniel Boone. The family came in a two-horse wagon and was accompanied by the Eli Thomas family in a four-horse wagon. A brother-in-law, Abner Thomas, lived near Damascus and it was to his house that they were headed. They traveled overland, camping out by the roadside or stopping at taverns at night. Mr. Thomas had written them to drive straight through Salem, which was then a hamlet in the woods with a population of 150 people, and to continue until they came to a large blazed tree. At that point they were to turn right. They followed these directions, reaching the landmark about dusk. When they turned into the lane they found it was not wide enough to accomodate their unusually wide wagons, so the men had to go on ahead and cut down the trees which blocked the way. The family of Abner Thomas heard the felling of the trees and knew their friends had actually arrived half-an-hour before they came into sight. A few days later the family went into housekeeping in Salem. Phebe received her education in the schools, which were then considered among the best in the state. She was married to Nathan Hunt [3] June 2, 1841 by Friends' ceremony in the Hicksite Meeting House on the southwest corner of Ellsworth Ave. and Green (Second) St. It was the first wedding to be held in the new meeting house. After 46 years of marriage, her husband died Aug. 31, 1887. In early life, Phebe was interested in the anti-slavery and equal-suffrage movements. Her life-long friend, Mrs. Caroline Stanton Addams (died Oct. 2, 1917), was one of the active participants in the 1850 Woman's Rights Convention in Salem. The 64th anniversary of that convention, incidentally, was held at the Hicksite Meeting House in 1914. Both Phebe and Caroline were buried at Hope Cemetery. Notes: 1. Columbiana County, Ohio 2. Isaac Boone married Esther Starr on May 30, 1821 at Newberry Township, York County, Pennsylvania. 3. Nathan Hunt was the son of Nathan and Rebecca (Sharp) Hunt, and the grandson of Joshua and Esther (Roberts) Hunt. Source: Dale E. Shaffer (1992). More of the Salem story with photographs.
