Hickory Grove Cemetery Burials
Yell Township
This cemetery was restored, walked and
transcribed through death records in 2006 by Tina Keister.This cemetery was once adjacent to the Hickory Grove School, which is no longer there.
Long-time Boone County residents in the area who lived near and went to the school gave the following description of the cemetery:
This cemetery at one time was a little over one acre in size and had a white picket fence around it.
There were many children and whole families buried in this cemetery.
Whenever there was a funeral it was usually held in the school and the
school bell would ring as the procession of people carried the departed to the cemetery across the road.
There is reported to be between 40 to 50 burials in this cemetery but only one stone survives, Archibald Gilliland.
