#### About the Cemetery

On May 9, 2001, this cemetery was officially named at a special meeting by the Monticello District Cemetery Association. Listed in county records as "no name", and locally referred to as King Cemetery, the cemetery was finally named for Rev. Charles Boles, land owner when the first burial occurred.

Charles King, interred here, was a brother to Rev. Joseph King, who married Nancy Jane, daughter of Charles Boles. The Kings interred here are related through Charles and Rhoda (Smith) King, as are the 2 Smith burials.

Family Bible information submitted by Carol L. (Boles) Rollins and Billie R. (Boles) Murray, Great Granddaughters of Rev. Charles and Anne Boles

#### Land Ownership

In 1860, Rev. Charles Boles claimed 160 acres of land that included the 1/2 acre that became the cemetery. He lived on and farmed this land until April 27, 1883. He and wife Anne sold 80 acres, including the cemetery, to David B Johnson, and 40 acres to Wm. J. Mann. On January 30, 1866, he had sold 40 acres to his son-in-law, Joseph King. Today, the Monticello Cemetery District Association maintains the cemetery.
