Side A
In the winter of 1780, Daniel & Rebecca Boone and their young son, William, (b. June 20, 1775) camped at the Ebb & Flow Spring near Green River, 4 miles east of here. The Boones were hunting and trapping as they did every winter for 50 years at various locations in Kentucky, West Virginia and Missouri. Green River was a frequent destination for "Colonel Boone," as he was known in Kentucky. On this expedition, William fell ill and died. He was buried beneath a black oak tree near a cave. According to the land owner, the black oak fell in 1990.
