Daniel Boone In
Kentucky Cemetery
Famous Pioneer Had Hard Time
During the Latter Lears'
Of His Life
r “I have no spot that I can call
mj^ own whereon to lay my bones."’
This is one sentence from a simple
and affecting memorial addressed
to the people and the legislature cf
Kentucky by the famous pioneer,
Daniel Boone. At the age of 60
he had joined the second tide of
immigration that was popring into
another newly opened country, hop
ing at last to satisfy that land
hunger which hud led the men of
his time ever westward and he had
met fresh disappointment.
Losing through defective titles
the many acres of land he had lo
cated there, he appealed to Ken
tucky, in whose forests he had win
tered when hundreds of miles from
civilization, with no companions
but his guns and his dog; to whose
hunting grounds he had guided
many parties of hunters, survey
ors and settlers; into whose wilds
, he had cut the first “wilderness
road” within whose borders he had
built the first fort of tho more
than a hundred stations that shel
tered the early inhabitants from
! the Indians, and vnere he had
twice located many acres which he
; "had lost through poor trades or
I unsettled titles.
Judge how touching was such a
reminder from a man who in the ■
prime of his life had helped to
carve more than a million acres
from the wilderness and to make j
secure its virgin soil for settlement,
addressing, too, the generation that
occupied that land as a Sovereign
state in peace and plenty. Ken
tucky heeded his cry for aid and
forwarded it to Congress, which
readily granted him more acres, i
It is pitiful to relate that the j
guileless old man lost this also in
lawsuits, and at the age of 85 was
buried at last in the alien soil of
another state.
He was not, however, forgotten
by Kentuckians. In 1845 the Legis
lature brought the remains of Dan
ial Boone and his wife, Rebecca
Bryan Boone, to the state cemetery
at Frankford and reburied them on
the brow of a high cliff overlooking
the lovely and picturesque 'valley
of the Kentucky River. When their
coffins were lowered the pallbear
ers threw in a few spadefuls of j
earth; then each one of the thou-|
sands of persons gathered from all
over the state for the imposing I
ceremony, passing by, threw in a
handful of the soil they were con- [
secrating, as a symbol of his per
petual possession.—Youth Compan
