Geocache Description:

This is a micro cache near but not in a nice historical cemetery south of Hampton, Nebraska.

About 1871 what is known as Youst Cemetery was established on the homestead of Samuel B. and Mary Elizabeth Hunt Youst. Youst, S.B. Chapman, and Richard M. Hunt were the first settlers on Beaver Creek, arriving from Lucas County, Iowa in 1870. After the village of Hampton was established in 1880, approximately one mile to the north, many early residents were buried here. Civil War veterans buried in the cemetery are Samuel B. Youst, Lewis M. Hunt, Stanford May, G.W. Hiatt, Benjamin Conner, Alva Misner, and Fred Smith. You should enjoy the walk around the cemetery if you would like. The cache is not inside the cemetery fence.
