Old Poles Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

TeamCatalpa: The Team has been doing Spring cache maintenance, so stopped by this cache yesterday to check on it. Alas, the cache is gone. Not only is the cache gone, but the entire two or three acre woods that bordered the western edge of the cemetery has been completely razed. The Team was able to find what was left of the old cache tree in the pile of debris, but the cache itself is nowhere to be found. The place actually looks rather naked without the nice screen of trees.
This cemetery has very few trees or bushes with good locations for regular caches. The Team really dislikes caches (having seen a few) that are nothing but an old film can in the grass next to a tombstone, and we're not really into micros, so we may or may not try to place another cache at this location. If someone else would like to try a cache here, please feel free to do so.
Our thanks to those who found our cache, we hope you enjoyed the visit.
Cache on!

Geocache Description:

Cammo'ed lock and lock container.

Parisville is arguably the oldest Polish settlement in the United States. The first and second land patents for Poles in Paris Twp. were obtained by Francis Susalla and Francis Polk. Both of these Land Patents bear the date of July 1, 1857, as issued by the US Government in Washington City. The actual purchase of these parcels was some time earlier.

Paris Township was part of the area destroyed by the Great Fire of 1881. St. Mary's church remains, as does the old hotel, a rickety building at the edge of the road.

You will still find Susallas and Polks living in the area.
