Geocache Description:

From Manhattan, take Highway 24 north, to where 24 turns left (west), Highway 77 comes from the west and turns north. Take 77, 3.5 miles north, turn to the right (east) on University Park Road, County 390, 2 miles to Hohman Road. The cemetery is on the southeast corner of the intersection. This private cemetery was unknown for a time until the county built a road and found it. Earliest tombstone is for Matilda, wife of John S. Hohman, who died 15 September 1885. Cache is a match container.

Welcome to the Riley County Necropolis Series! This series will take you to every corner of Riley County and in between to discover the cemeteries of today and long since past. Who knows; you might just find some long-lost lineage!

This being a cemetery series, the utmost respect when entering and searching is imperative. None of the caches involve ANY desecration of graves or cemetery property, and none should be reported or this series will be disabled. All caches are relatively easy and require little searching or bushwhacking. If a funeral service is being held in the cemetery, DO NOT ENTER. We want you to be respectful not only to the 'residents' of the cemetery, but to the families. Just use your head and you should do just fine. Please, NO NIGHT CACHING. Many of these cemeteries have curfews from dusk to dawn.

Congrats to Diecast64 for the FTF!
