This is a two stage multi cache that is located in the North Eagle Cemetery on Grange Road.
Joshua Simmons II, Revolutionary War veteran, is buried in this cemetery. He was born on a Massachusetts farm in the early 1760s. In 1778 he volunteered to fight the British and served with various units in Massachusetts for about two years. In 1790 he married Ruth Andrews. Later the family migrated to western New York. His wife died in 1806 leaving Joshua to raise their eight children. In the 1830s his younger son David settled in this area. Joshua joined him and at his death in 1840 was buried here on his son's land.
There is a Historical Marker at the front of the cemetery and you can locate Joshua's grave at N42 50.410 W084 47.750. The grave stone is upright and can be viewed even in snow.
At the first stage you will find the coordinates for the final stage. The final stage is a well hidden container that is about 3 inches long and one inch in diameter. Be sure to replace both stages exactly as you found them. There should be no need to go outside of the fence at either stage.
Please be very respectful of this area.
