Geocache Description:

This is a *micro* located in McLarry Cemetery in north McKinney. There is a letterbox very near the geocache. You must sign the log in the geocache in order to claim a find!

From the historical marker in the corner of the cemetery:
This site was first used as a cemetery in 1851 when property owner John R. Jones buried his infant son here. The land was later donated as a public burial ground for the pioneer settlers of the surrounding Wilmeth settlement by Mary Virginia Dunn McLarry and her father Robert A. McLarry. The earliest marked graves are those of a brother and sister, Henry E. and Adella M. Hall, who died in 1870. Also buried here is J.B. Wilmeth, for whom the community was named. The site is now used by descendants of the pioneer area families.

Does anyone remember the short lived sitcom "Hello Larry" with the late McLean Stevenson? The show was forgettable, but McLean Stevenson also played the great Lt Colonel Henry Blake on MASH. There's some useless trivia for ya!

At some point in the not too distant future Bloomfield Road will be plowing through this area. Hopefully they'll go around the cemetery.
