Joppa, Burial Place
Of Boone's Parents
BY BEN F. SEAGLE, JR.
Daniel Boone—Joppa. Who would
; ever think of associating Daniel
Boone with Joppa? At the mention
of Joppa one thinks of the Biblical
name for the seaport of Jerusalem.
And when Daniel Boone is mentioned
you at once form a mental picture
of the great pioneer and frontiers
man. But you never thought of as
sociating' Joppa with Daniel Boone.
Just a moment and I will ex
plain. There are two Joppas (many
more, for aught I\know), but the
one I am talking about is located
a mile and a half northwest of
Mocksville, North Carolina, and is
known as the Joppa grave yard,
where lies buried the bodies of the
parents of Daniel Boone. Yes, the
word Joppa and the name of Daniel
Boone are linked together in this
way. ,
The Joppa grave yard is very old,
for there are old roughly hewn
tombstones bearing dates as far back
as in the latter part of the seven
teenth century. And in this beauti
ful old grave yard there for more
than 150 years has lain buried the
parents of the famous pioneer and
woodsman.
For several years the markers
(tombstones) to the graves of Daniel
Boone's father and mother were
kept in the vaults of the First Na
tional Bank of Mocksville, on ac
count of curiosity seekers chipping
off part of the stones. But recently
the Boone Trail Highway association
had them re-erected and enclosed in
cement, together with a marker of
their own, which reads as follows:
Here are Buried the Parents
of
Daniel Boone, Frontiersman.
Pioneer of the Yadkin
This Memorial Erected by the
Boone Trail Highway Association
The inscription on the tombstones
are rather interesting. Note how the
words are spelled. They read as
follows:
The mother's:
Sah—Boone
Departed This
Life 1777.
Aged 77 Years
The father's:
Squire Bo (one)
Departed
This Life (In)
The Sixty
Ninth Year
of His Age in
Thay Year
of Our Lord
1765 Geneary Tha 2
The letters enclosed in parenthe
sis have been chipped off the stone
by souvenir hunters.

sociation held a banquet recently it

bit was served. The members plan

One Of Ellenboro's
Leading Citizens
Ellenboro, May 25.—Anthony
Street Harrill, 67 years young, who
after 30 years of activity refuses to
retire from his banking and other
business pursuits, is known to the
people of Ellenboro and other sec
tions of Rutherford county as a
Southerner of the truest type, gen
erous in hospitality and friendships,
honest and sincere in his motives and
loyal to his work, his home, and com
munity.
The man who is now one of El
lenboro's most prominent business
men and church and civic leaders,
had a humble beginning in life. He
was born in a quaint little cabin,
near Sandy Run creek, three miles
from Ellenboro, and, because of
meagre educational advantages, nev
er progressed further than the pro
verbial readin', 'ritin,' and 'rithme
tic. But this handicap did not
block his path to success. Instead
of college degree, he has adopted
simple and practical business meth
ods of business and honesty in deal
ing with his fellow citizens, and as
the Good Book promises, better
things have been "added unto him.''
Mr. Harrill is a member and treas
urer of the Ellenboro Baptist church
and president of the Bank of El
lenboro. He is also a member of
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Knights of Pythias. He is owner
and manager of the Sandy Run
poultry yards from which prize birds
have gone to leading national poul
try shows to return with a total of
30 silver loving cups and ribbon
awards.
His first mercantile enterprise was
started in 1890 and soon afterwards
grew so fast, larger quarters were .
necessary. He has associated with
him his son, Van Harrill. :
A lifelong advocate of better edu- ■
cational facilities, Mr. Harrill did
much in the establishment of the •
Ellenboro high school. He was a (
member of the building committee.!
He also was chairman of the finance j
committee during the erection of j
the new Ellenboro Baptist church.
Mr. Harrill is a well informed stu-}
dent of historical events in his sec-!
tion and recalls the completion of \
the railroad into Ellenboro and his'
first ride on the steam cars.
