This is the most personal cache I have ever placed, as it a
memorial cache for my most beloved branch of my family, the Parrs.
This cemetery is the final resting place for my great aunt and
uncle Floyd and Juanita Parr. Floyd's (and my grandma's) sister
Edna Day is also buried here with her husband Elam. Their parents,
William and Ethel Parr, are buried nearby. My great-grandmother
Ethel passed away when I was very young, and I do not remember her,
which is regrettable. William's parents, and my great great
grandparents, John and Mary Hanna Parr are resting beside their
son, and they were married 99 years before I was born!
My grandmother and her sister Edna are both from Findlay, and
being close to the Toledo area, my family and I were lucky enough
to be able to visit them a lot during our childhood, which I really
enjoyed. Uncle Floyd and Aunt Juanita, however, lived in the Los
Angeles area, and we took many vacations out there as we were
growing up, which were some of the best times of my young life.
Floyd and Juanita have travelled the world and had many interesting
objects and stories and were two of the greatest, most amazing
people I've ever met, as well as their four sons, my favorite
cousins. I still miss them and Edna and Elam very much, but I
consider myself lucky to have had them as part of my life.
There are still many Days around, though not many nearby. The
Parr family is well and diverse and living in South Cali, and they
are awesome people and I love the rare occasions I get to see them.
As for the third sister, Irene, she is still alive and very well
and all of her 4 grandchildren live the caching lifestyle.
