You have to park near the house and walk to the right about a mile. The cemetery is on a bluff overlooking the Dix River. Watch for the road and creek. That is the only way in.

The cemetery is on the farm of Neal Boone, thus the name of Boone Graveyard. It is in the Goshen Community near the Goshen Christian church.

I visited this cemetery in the summer of 2001. There may be more buried here than I was able to gather. Some are from the stones, some are from friends who shared the name of their relative buried here.
