MM32: I checked on this one and it's missing again. I live too far away to properly maintain this one. As my first hide, it's time to say thanks to everyone that hunted this cache. Sad to hit the mute button this one.

Geocache Description:


Rob Morris Poet Laureate Freemasonry


An easy offset cache located in Valley of Rest Cemetery, LaGrange, KY. Daytime only.

After he became a Mason in 1846, Rob Morris became convinced that there needed to be a way for female relatives of Masons to share in some measure in the benefits of Freemasonry. While teaching at the Little Red Brick School Building in Richland, MS he wrote Eastern Star’s first ritual, titled The Rosary of the Eastern Star. Today, The Order of the Eastern Star is the world’s largest fraternal organization to which both men and women can belong.

Over the years, he wrote more than 400 poems, many of which were devoted to Eastern Star and Masonry. In 1854 he wrote “The Level and the Square”, his best known poem. Because of his many works on Masonic subjects, on December 18, 1884 he was crowned the “Poet Laureate of Freemasonry”, an honor which had not been granted since the death of Robert Burns in 1796.

Rob Morris is buried along side his wife of nearly 50 years Charlotte Morris.

You are looking for a camoed pill bottle with a log inside and room for a few small items.
