I came by this obscure little cemetery last year for the first
time. I found it very interesting and reminiscent of a couple of
potters' fields I have visited in the past. I've been wanting to
put something here for a while and today was the day.
Unfortunately, today the Livingston County Historic Museum was
closed, so I wasn't able to glean any history for this place, but I
plan on going back when they are opened and add to this description
when I learn more. If any of you out there can add any knowledge,
please feel free to insert it in your logs.
So! you are looking for a well camoed container with some small
swag and a FTF prize and log. BYOP. This is such a nice peaceful
area despite it's proximity to Wallyworld, and there are picnic
tables. So, while you're logging in have a seat and join these folk
and rest your bones, so to speak. Be sure to read the poignant
message on the large boulder near the flagpole. The cache is not
inside the gate in the cemetery itself, and I know that you will
show great respect for your surroundings and the souls that reside
here.
Enjoy this small area and thanks for stopping by here.........Note:
added 08-21-08........ A trip to the museum today has brought a
little light to the matter of the who, what, where, when, and whys
of this little cemetery. It seems that many long years ago there
was a "Poor House" or County Home, as it were, north of the Lake
Conesus Geneseo Road and west of where Walmart now stands. The
buildings still stand. The larger in some disrepair. The others
being used as businesses. It was also lesser known as an asylum.
The poor souls buried here are said to have died at this
institution, and their stones were only provided with initials and
their age to protect their families from embarrassment. God Bless
these souls. Congratulations to Killerb for being the FTF! Note:
Terrain rating has been changed. Cache itself is not wheelchair
accessable, but wheelchair bound persons may still enjoy the area.

My first cache of the new year and in quite some time. Was in the area and spent a few chilly moments searching before finding it. Great container and hide, signed the log and left a few coins. Thanks for the find.

Very clever cache. Took a coin, left a key chain ghost (perfect, given the surroundings).
