Geocache Description:

EDITED 4-23-2009 8-11-2011 8-28-11

It's been a long road, getting from there to here.
It's been a long time, but my time is finally near.
And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
And they're not gonna hold me down no more, no they're not gonna change my mind.

Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul. And no one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star.
I've got faith.
I've got faith, faith of the heart.

Little did we realize almost four years ago when we started this amazing journey where it would lead us. We've met a lot of GREAT folks along the way, as well as a few brutally nasty ones. We've gathered up a lot of Kudos, as well as a huge amount of vilification, some from very unexpected quarters. Thru it all, We've tried to stay true to our original vision of honoring Hoosier Pioneers and Veterans...And 8 years into it we're still being attacked--LEAD DOG

INDIANA SPIRIT QUEST #591

"CEDAR ROW"

Welcome to Alger Cemetery in Wabash County Indiana .

"This burial ground was established in 1846, not in connection with any religious society, or any house of worship, but simply because the people of the region needed a convenient place in which to bury their dead. It has been in constant use for the purposes of its creation and is so employed at the present day. We have no detailed account for publication in this work. The cemetery is located in the northeast part of the township in the vicinity of the residence of Martin Alger, northwest of the town of Urbana." Helms, HISTORY OF WABASH COUNTY, 1884 p. 418.

This is a well-maintained and secluded burial ground that most people don't know about because it is not readily visible from the road, and it is on a dead end. This is an old pioneer cemetery with 77 known burials dating back to the 1850. Last interrment was in 1957; 5 Alger family members are buried here.

There is a road back to the cemetery, and a pull-off where you can park.
