William Jones Boone (17 May 1846 – 5 October 1891) was the fourth Anglican missionary bishop of Shanghai.[1] Boone was born in Shanghai, son of and namesake of William Jones Boone and his wife Sarah Amelia De Saussure Boone.[2] After his mother’s death, he and his brother were taken to the US for their education.[3]
He studied at Princeton University and attended Virginia Theological Seminary[4] prior to his ordination to the diaconate in Petersburg, Virginia in 1868. The Foreign Missions Committee appointed him as a missionary to China in 1869.[5] He was consecrated Bishop of Shanghai on 28 October 1884.
Boone served in Wuchang before retiring to America with ill-health; however, he later decided to return to China to continue his work in Hankow.[6]
He married Mary Carolina De Saussure Boone and after her death in 1875, he married Henrietta F. Harris Boone; he died of thyphoid in 1891.[4]
