Geocache Description:

Near Hale's Mill in the Midway community of Scott County, Va. This cache is placed to educate geocachers and others about our area heritage and history of Scott County, Virginia.

After the War between the States was over this is where Joshua D. Fraizer returned to in Scott County, Va. and made his home. He was one of the original group of 76 men that marched to Abington, Virginia on July 13th. 1861 and they were mustered into the Army of Virginia Volunteers the same day, and became Company H of the 48th Regiment Virginia Volunteers. Company H became part of General Stonewall Jackson's army and later Company E of the Virginia 48th Regiment. He was the only one of the orginal 76 men that answered the muster call at Appomattox on April 19, 1865 when General Lee surrendered. Inside the cache container and log book are the coordinates to a monument in Kieth Park in Nickelsville, Va. telling you about who they were and what their names are. They are not forgotton, their names are etched in stone. It is not required of you to visit the 2nd site to log this cache as a find, it is only for your enjoyment if you wish to learn more about these brave men and others that served our Country and State. A soilders worst fear is not of dying, but being forgotton. (visit link)
