Hell-o everyone out there. I am trying to rectify a terrible occurrence. The total and permanent destruction of the Smith Cemetery in Raytown, MO. As many of you know, Smith is where the daughters and sister's who died in the Union Jail Collapse are buried. Those would be Jebez McCorkle, James Lilley and Ferdinand Scott. I have also been made aware that Daniel Boone Scholl was buried there also, mistaken as his cousin Traveler Boone Muir. In fact Boone Muir was buried in the Belton Cemetery in 1913. Boone SCholl and Scott, were killed in a skirmish with the 9th Calvary near Westport, Mo. 17 June 1863. Daniel Boone Scholl, better known as Boon Shull often was shot in the back, with the bullet coming out his belt buckle. The Smith Cemetery is under attack. It has been neglected and the property sold, to a Delaney Construction Company of Olmstead, Kansas City, Missouri. I am seeking help to preserve this cemetery from further destruction. I understand a Mrs. Hurbert Hussey is in possession of the original cemetery map. I am soliciting any help from anyone who would be willing to give an effort to save this Cemetery or at least a part of it. I think this effort will require a consolidated effort. I don't know how important, most of you would feel this effort is, but as the great nephew of Daniel Boone Scholl and the great grandson of George Thomas Scholl, I ask for any help from interested parties.
