The Marthasville Record - Post event article
November 5, 1915

THE DANIEL BOONE MARKER UNVEILED LAST FRIDAY
2200 PEOPLE WERE IN ATTENDANCE, FREE CHICKEN DINNER SERVED, WARREN COUNTY BOULDER USED FOR MARKER. PROGRAM CARRIED OUT.


"The dedication of the Daniel Boone Marker took place on the old Bryan cemetery near Marthasville last Friday afternoon, Oct. 29, 1915. Mrs. Mark S. Salisburg, State Regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution was in charge of this grand event. It was said that fully 2,200 people were present.

The exercises began promptly after the Daughters of the American Revolution arrived from St. Louis in automobiles fifty in number. However before the exercises took part the ladies of Marthasville and vicinity had prepared a free dinner for the immense crowd. The menu consisted of fried chicken, roast beef, bread, cake, pie and hot coffee. Two hundred chickens, two quarters of beef, 300 loafs of bread, 500 pies, while 25 pounds of coffee furnished drinks for all.

The cemetery is on the Dickhaus farm about 1 ½ mile east of Marthasville. The marker crowns the top of a beautiful knoll and can plainly be seen from the county road. The marker is a large boulder of native Warren County granite upheld by four smaller boulders, and is the joint gift of Warren County and the Sate Daughters of the Revolution. On the base of the monument is a handsome bronze tablet bearing the inscription: “Daniel Boone, born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Feb. 11, 1735; died in St. Charles County, 1820; and his wife Rebecca Bryan born 1727, died March, 1813, Removed to Frankfort, Ky 1845” The tablet bears also a picture in bas relief of the pioneer and the coat of arms of his family and of the D.A.R.. The marker was designed by the State Regent.

The program was opened by a selection by the bank and invocation by Rev. B. H. Heithaus of Marthasville which was followed by an address of welcome by Col. Wm. L. Morsey of Warrenton. Hon. T. W. Hukriede of Warrenton also delivered a short address befitting this occasion.

Mrs. Salisburg officiated at the unveiling of the marker, saying the “D.A.R. of the State of Missouri took great pleasure in presenting the County of Warren this memorial to the great pioneer of the West, Daniel Boone.” A mighty cheer, which resounded over the Warren County hills went up from the 2,200 persons present. The marker was unveiled by Jesse Crump of Independence, Mo., the great-great-great-grand son and Mrs. Oscar Grannemann of New Haven, MO., a great-great-great-grand daughter of the great pioneer and his wife. The school children who were present broke into “America.”

Col. E. W. Stephens of Columbia, Mo. made the principal address and called upon the assemblage to give three cheers in honor of the D.A.R. who had erected the monument, three cheers for Daniel Boone and Rebecca Boone, and a hip, hip, hooray for the Warren County folks. He called upon those present to combine their energies and demand from the Legislature an appropriation of $10,000 with which to erect a monument on Missouri soil to the Boones equal, if not superior in style, beauty and design to that which the Southern States has already erected.

A selection by the band was rendered.
John W. RoBards of Hannibal, Mo., for 19 years vice president of the Sons of the American Revolution, also spoke on the life of Daniel Boone.
George Chester Bryan of Dawson Springs, Ky, a former citizen of this county made a short and interesting talk on the life of Daniel Boone as revealed to him by his father during the life of the pioneer.
A song was rendered by the school children entitled “I am from old Mizzoo,”
Jesse Crump of Independence, Mo. Spoke on the early history of the life of Daniel Boone and his wife Rebecca, nee Bryan.
Prof. Frick of Warrenton also gave a short talk on the pioneer’s life.
Warren County virtually declared last Friday a holiday for its residents. Schools in the vicinity were dismissed for the day and teachers and pupils attended the exercises. All the county officials, probate and county judges, were present.
Prof. J. G. Wilson of Warrenton also had his Boys Scouts on the grounds and they deserve much credit for keeping the grounds and they deserve much credit for keeping the many automobiles in line. They worked very had and we must say that not an accident occurred on the grounds.

It was said Franklin, Howard, St. Charles, Callaway, Pike, St. Louis and Warren counties were represented. They reached the hallowed spot mostly by automobiles. It was said that nearly 200 automobiles were on the grounds.

Total receipts - $59.35
Expenditures- $50.76
Balance- $8.59

UNVEILING OF BOONE MARKER
Washington Gives Description of Impressive Event


It was with a feeling of deep sentiment that I drove up to the Bryan cemetery just east of Marthasville the morning of October 29th. That was the day the D.A.R. of Missouri had set for the unveiling of the marker to the first resting place of Daniel Boone and his wife Rebecca Bryan.

The day was most fair and from afar the flags could be seen floating to the breeze. Marthsville was most hospitable, declaring a general holiday for the occasion, serving a wonderful feast to serval thousand guests, lending the sweet voices of her school children for two stirring songs, and adding in every way to the pleasure of the day. The band and the boy scouts came down from Warrenton.

The marker is granite taken out of the hills of Warren coutny. The bronze tablet, on it was designed by Mrs. Mark S. Salisbury of Independence, State Regent of the D.A.R. - It reads-
DANIEL BOONE
BORN IN BRUCKS CO., PA
Feb. 11, 1735
DIED IN ST. CHARLES CO., MO
Sept. 26 1820
AND WIFE
REBECCA BRYAN
Born 1737
Died March 18, 1813
Removed to Frankfort, KY 1845

The D.A.R. arreived by automobiles from St. Louis at noon. At one the excercises began. Mr. Wm. Morsey of Warrenton spoke in behalf of the mayor of Marthasville bidding all welcome. Rev. B.H. Heithaus prayed. Almost the entire afternoon was given over to speeches and glorious speeches they were. I wish I might remember every word of each one, but mose of all I wish I might remember every word of that wonderful prayer that Rev. Heithaus made that afternoon.

Judge Huckriede made the opening address. He spoke of what Daniel Boone had been to Warren county and the state, and bewailed the fact that his remains had been allowed to be removed.

After the school children had sung "America", Mrs. Salisbury preented the marker to Warren county and it was unveiled by Mrs. Oscar Granneman of New Haven, Mo., a great-great-granddaughter and Jesse P. Crump of Independence, Mo., a great- great-grandson. This was followed by a solo, Robert Louis Stevenson's immortal requiem. Col. D. W. Stevens made the principal address. His was a masterly effort. He closed by quoting from Lord Byron's poem on Daniel Boone, repeating over these words of the poem, "Not only famous, but of that GOOD fame without which glory is but a tavern's song". He was followed by Hon. John RoBard of Hannibal; Geo. C. Bryan of Kentucky, Jesse P. Crump of Independece, and B. F. Frick of Warrenton. The band following all by a well arranged program.

I could not stay to hear it all as I had a river to cross, but Mr. Bartholomaus, the band leader told me they were to play "God be with you" just as the sun was setting. It must have rung out very beautifully over those hills where the hunter pioneer, statesman, gentleman had lived his wonderful life and laid so peacefully down to die. The words of Stevenson's Requiem, sung by a descendant, still ring in my ears -
"Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie,
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.
This be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to be,
Home is the sailor, home from sea,
And the hunter home from the hill
