"Down the Lane" are cemetery caches we've
placed that are off the beaten path.
They are not located on, or possibly even visible from, paved
roads.
As these locations may have dirt or grass entrances, their
conditions can be affected by weather.
We hope you have fun tracking these hidden gems! :)
OHIO SPIRIT
QUEST
The "SQ" in the
cache name above signifies Spirit Quest, a project by the Northwest
Ohio Geocachers to distinguish those caches that are set in
cemeteries or memorial gardens. This cache is part of that series
created by NWOGEO members to highlight cemeteries or memorial
gardens in the area. Please be respectful of the area, and observe
their rules and posted hours which are typically sunrise to

History on this small cemetery has been difficult to find. All we
have found so far is that it is commonly known as Glore Cemetery.
It has also been known as Hughes Cemetery and Goldberg Cemetery.
Normally, cemeteries such as this are named after the landowner who
donated the land. So, either "Glore" or "Goldberg" owned this land
at the time. With 80% of the grave markers having the name
"Hughes", we can at least assume that's the name which it was known
as by the locals.
If anyone has more information on this location or interesting
history on the people residing here, please pass it along. We'll
happily include it :)
