White portion of Boyer Cemetery

The information for this portion  was provided by Allison Britt and  Dr. L.B. Lindsey
Allison states that these are the marked graves and there are six other graves
marked only by iron fences with no identification.  One which could be Emmma Jane Boyer Cofer,
born August 31, 1850 and died January 3, 1886.
Our thanks to Sharon Grissette who rewalked this cemetery in 2002.
