According to the history of Boone's Chapel Methodist Church published in The History of Chickasaw County, Volume 1, 1985, Pgs. 49-50, C39:

On March 14, 1872. Thomas Boon deeded "two or more acres" of land to James Lyon and D. Sullivan, trustees of a Church then existing on the land, which he gave as: "a place of divine worship for the use of ministers and membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South." Boone died soon after and is buried in the center of what has now become a large cemetery – being the community burying ground.
