- Not a complete survey of the cemeteries: needs to be compared with Elsberry and other subsequent cemetery surveys. Because it was done so early, it did located a number of stones that have subsequently disappeared. There appear to be comparatively few misreadings or typos. The following limitations were stated in the preface: "In compiling this book, every tombstone of adults in Boone County was copied where the _birth_ date was prior to 1860. Fifty-two churches and cemeteries are included and fifty-nine old family burying grounds are copied." Thus, it omitted graves of children, and must be supplemented for purposes of family reconstitution. The compilers noted that in many Boone County cemeteries, there were numerous old graves with no tombstones. The book is not a complete listing of all known county cemeteries.
