Geocache Description:

This is a traditional cache, a small camoe'd lock n' lock container containing a log book, pencil, pencil sharpener and a pin for the first to find.

This cache was placed in the High Street Cemetery. I am sure the views have changed a bit. The cemetery once overlooked the former Anchor Glass Factory, however in the past year the view has changed a lot. Now the cemetery overlooks the bustling Killingly Commons. Although the cemetery is in view of Killingly Commons, it is still a very peaceful old cemetery. This cemetery is the final resting place, for a former a Representative from Connecticut. RUSSELL, Charles Addison, a Representative from Connecticut; born in Worcester, Mass., March 2, 1852; attended the public schools; was graduated from Yale College in 1873; city editor of the Worcester Press 1873-1879 and associate editor of the Worcester Spy in 1879 and 1880; moved to Killingly, Conn., in 1879 and engaged in the manufacture of woolen products; aide-de-camp on the staff of Gov. Hobart B. Bigelow in 1881; member of the State house of representatives in 1883; secretary of state of Connecticut in 1885 and 1886; was elected as a Republican to the Fiftieth and to the seven succeeding Congresses and served from March 4, 1887, until his death; chairman, Committee on Expenditures in the Department of War (Fifty-seventh Congress); had been renominated as the Republican candidate for reelection in 1902; died in Killingly, Conn., October 23, 1902; interment in the High Street Cemetery, Dayville, Killingly, Conn.
