Geocache Description:

Awesome old graveyard. http://img.geocaching.com/cache/e5edcd27-f0e4-4b6d-9fd4-821a2916ee54.jpg

*Side note- the owners no longer live in America. If visitors could keep it Updated it would be appreciated as it still gets traffic. Thank you. * Time moves on as each day passes. Sometimes we can look back and reflect on things of days gone by. As I visited this site I reflected on what it must have been like in PA back in the 1700 and 1800’s. I found myself wondering what was going on the year that Jacob died. Here are some happenings that I found on the net. March 9 Napoleon Bonaparte marries Josephine de Beauharnais March 28 Bethel African Methodist Church of Philadelphia is 1st US-African church April 13 1st elephant arrives in U.S. from India May 14 1st smallpox inoculation administered, by Edward Jenner May 19 Game protection law restricts encroachment on Indian hunting grounds May 27 James S. McLean patents his piano June 1 Last of Britain's troops withdraws from U.S. June 1 Tennessee admitted as 16th U.S. state July 4 1st Independence Day celebration is held July 8 U.S. State Department issues 1st American passport July 22 Cleveland, Ohio, founded by Gen Moses Cleveland September 19 George Washington's farewell address as president November 3 John Adams elected president December 18 1st U.S. newspaper to appear on Sunday (Baltimore Monitor) Looking forward in history in order to get to the next stage of this cache you must figure out 141 years after the year of Jacobs death. Once you find out the year add the first two numbers to the first coordinates, and the last two to the second coordinates. Example: N 40 05.657 W 076 52.262 If the year was 1989 (it’s not) then it would be N 40 05.657 + 19 = N 40 05.676 W 076 52.262 + 89 = W 076 52.351
