Geocache Description:

My first micro in this series.

Well I told myself I was taking a break with my cemetery series but then I stumbled on this very unique cemetery while seeking out Billwolf's Rose Garden.

This cemetery has a unique collection of very old stones with a few very new stones. I couldn't find a definitive name for the cemetery so I used the road name. Use the clues below to solve the coordinates. You will NOT have to drive to the cache.

Thanks to Dash9 for providing me this additional information:
The sign in front of the cemetery proclaims it is the property of Cary 1st United Church of Christ. This is a cemetery that is still in use with space for additional burials. The cemetery is in a state of disarray, with graves scattered here and there, many unmarked graves and many graves with cast concrete slabs with no names inscribed. Many stones are broken and overturned and general signs of serious neglect are rampant.

I recommend to anyone interested in this cemetery that they read "Both Sides of the Tracks II, Recollections of Cary, NC, 1860-2000", published in 2001, written by Ella Arrington Williams-Vinson. Many photographs of the cemetery tombstones are included as well as the history of those buried here.

Latitude:
35 46.XYY

As you enter the gate on the right is the tomb of Jenny Beckwith

X = Day of birth - 1
YY = birth Month + birth Day - 1

Longitude:
47.ABB

Take a stroll down the path until you get to a set of much newer stones under a large pine tree on the left.

A = Dick Arrington's birth month
BB = Catherine Arrington's age at death + 13

This is my first micro in the series and I hope you enjoy your stroll.
