NOTE: 08/21/2011, Julie Glasscock Rogers:

"Cemetery is located on the smaller of the 2 of [Boggess] cemeteries. If you were to visit it, you would turn at Lumberport onto Jones Run Rd. Go just over 3 miles, on your left you will see the Jones Run Church that sits just off the road. As soon as you pass the church, maybe 100 ft. you would see this cemetery It is only about 10 ft. off road and other than the graves that I mentioned, the only other ones you would see are just old flat rocks kinda hidden in the grass throughout. If you continue on up the rd. about 1/10 of a mile, turn left down over bank onto what is known Sawmill Rd, go maybe 100 ft. You would open the gate at your left and drive to top of hill. This is the larger cem. I have not found a Caleb in either one, but this still could be possible. There are so many graves that are either not marked or you just cant make out names."
