Rev. Edward Boone was born in Michigan. He moved to Iowa in 1937 where he founded the First Pilgrim Church (now known as Debra Heights Wesleyan). He also began a religious broadcast featuring "The Boone Family" which consisted of his wife, three daughters, and a son-in-law. He wrote and compiled several books. In 1942 he opened Boone's Book and Bible Store. He retired in 1957 and traveled as a missionary to several countries.
