Boneyard, Mississippi
Boneyard is a ghost town in Alcorn County, Mississippi, United States. It was located  miles west of Corinth. History
Boneyard was established by William Powell in the 1830s along a stage coach route running between Jacinto, Mississippi and La Grange, Tennessee. The settlement was humorously called "Boneyard" because Powell was a very lean man. Boneyard had a cabinetmaker's shop, a blacksmith, three mercantile establishments, a cabinetmaker’s shop, a Masonic lodge (No. 179), a tan yard, a saddler's shop, the Boneyard School, and a carding machine where wool was carded for people living within a  radius. The population reached about 100. Boneyard was destroyed by the Union Army during the American Civil War, and was never rebuilt. References
