* Boggs Creek Cemetery, including the Lyon family stones, has been restored by Stonehugger Cemetery Restoration, funded by the Crane Naval Base.

Joel is buried next to his first wife, Malinda. After the cyclone that took Joel's life blew through Goldsberry Hollow, the roads were impassable. Because of this and because Boggs Creek was closer to their home, Joel's remaining six children made the decision to bury him here with Malinda. The stones were purchased later by a family member.
