Geocache Description:

This is a two part cache hidden in a cemetery. Please be respectful of the inhabitants, and their visitors. No night caching.

This is a large cemetery complete with a small flower garden and benches.

The first stage will take you to an interestingly shaped tombstone. One of the 4 people listed on it has no birth or death dates listed. Her name happens to be the same as mine, which for those who know me a little bit, is not really Lisa!

The coords for the final are N43' 00. ABC W075' 58.DEF.
To get the ABC number, first find the difference between the year James was born and the year Mary was born. This equals x.
Next, find the difference betwwen the year James died and the year Mary died. This equals y.
Find Mary's age when she died. This equals z.
Add x+y+z, and subtract the sum from your starting North coordinate. This equals ABC.

Add the first 2 digits in the year of Alfred's death together. Add 2 to this number, and subtract the sum from the starting West coordinates. This will give you DEF.

The cache is a camo covered pill container and contains log only, so please BYOP

Congratulations to TheQueensReply and JelloKing for a shared FTF.
