Inscription
The location of Thomas Boone Turley's burial is listed as a marked plot within the Moray Cemetery at Doniphan County, KS. The gravestone is very simple, very old, and a challenge to make out the inscription. Without the plot directions on file at the library in Troy, it would be most difficult to locate. It appears to be inscribed with only "T B Turley 1823-1889."
