This is another cache in the Faded Markers Series. This series will mainly focus on older, near forgotten burial plots of pioneers in the Niagara Region and beyond. The goal of this series is not necessarily the length of the walk nor the difficulty of the find, but rather a simple reverence for those who came before us to shape our area.
Formerly known as the Bolden, Tunker, Brilliger and Winger Cemetary, the Black Creek Cemetary contains graves dating back to the 1800's and has approximately 125 occupants of which there are about 80 stones showing this....with the oldest being that of a
German lady who lived from 1788 to 1839.
Restored by Louis Climenhage and his family, and of which there are descendants interred in this cemetary, who reside in nearby Stevensville, who spent more than 245 hours rebuilding the fence and cleaning and restoring many of the markers.
Please, when searching for this cache, be mindful of any golfers in the area, as it is near the golf course, but the cemetary can be accessed properly by staying along the west side of the course, next to Black Creek.
Cache is a camo'd 35mm film canister, with no pen.
