Daniel Boone died in Missouri in 1820 a few weeks shy of his 86^th birthday. He was buried in Missouri near his wife, Rebecca, who died in 1813. Twenty-five years later, Kentuckians came to move the bodies to Frankfort and put them in a new cemetery overlooking the Kentucky River. A beautiful monument was later erected over the graves. However, it remains uncertain today if the Kentuckians exhumed the correct graves in 1845. No one knows for certain whether Daniel Boone is buried in Missouri or Kentucky. After reading the facts, you are invited to reach your own conclusions.
