Other Information
I visited only once, in 1998. Access was difficult due to fences and
overgrowth of vegetation. The Boone County Historical Society is aware
of the cemetery and the situation, but sadly, lacks funds and manpower
to remedy the problem. This was the burial ground attached to the long
gone Pleasant Grove Baptist Church.
Support
I don't know. I'm not a resident of Boone County. Just visiting a
gggrandparents grave and finding the plot grave indeed.
