Grave Of Daniel Boone

In the cemetery stands a monument to Daniel and Revecca 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. Photograph courtesy of Dave Redden.
