GRAVE OF DANIEL BOONE
In the cemetery stands a monument to Daniel and Rebecca Boone, done by a grateful Commonwealth in 1860. Their remains had been brought back from Missouri and reburied, on September 13, 1845. A tribute to that outstanding frontiersman and his wife, who pioneered in carving out a wilderness empire-now Kentucky. See other side. Presented by Rotary Club, District 671.

So, knowing this the official from Frankfort KY, slipped into Missouri, without either the stats nor the family permission, and stole two bodies. They are buried here and claimed by Frankfort to be daniel and Rebecca Boone. They were stolen from the Bryan family cemetery on the Bryan farm in Marthasville, MO.
Now Missouri descendents of Daniel and Rebecca claim what Frankfort has is Rebecca and a male slave who was in the cemetery.
Daniel they claim is still in the family cemetery, since Daniel was buried without a head stone to prevent Kentucky officials from stealing his body.
