The cemetery is located in either the northeast corner of the southeast quarter or the southeast corner of the northeast quarter of section 15, in township 10 north, range 2 west. The spelling of John Boen's name is the correct spelling of the family name. However, the designation of the area as 'Boen's Ridge' has appeared very rarely in Jackson County records. The cemetery is located on the north and south sides of a country road which runs east into Arkansas Highway 145." South Side Same stone: HOLLADAY, D. (3 Jan 1830 - 21 Mar 1890) HOLLADAY, Mary E.
