This series is inspired by and a continuation of the Indiana Spirit Quest caches created by Six Dog Team. In just over three years, the SPIRIT QUEST has grown to over 550 caches, with the hiding teams growing as well. The Ohio Spirit Quest has begun to grown to over 40 in Ohio, with five current caching teams, three each with A Man and His Dog, one with a Couple and Their Dog... and one with A Woman and her Dog.
Over 1,000 cachers have logged over 20,000 finds. One cache machine found 111 ISQ caches in a single day (daylight hours only).

OHIO SPIRIT QUEST #44

Anyone Seen A Smithy?

The Smith Cemetery is located southwest of Tedrow at the northwest corner of the intersection of County Road 19 and Township Road HJ. (NE 1/4, Sec 1, T7N, R5E.)
The Smith Cemetery lies on land granted to Demas Adams in 1835. During the 1860's the corner northwest of the Andre-Hagerman and Pettisville-Morence roads was set aside as a burial site. In 1933 the 1.75 acres was transferred to the Smith Cemetery Association. The cemetery has since been placed under the control of the township trustees. The oldest grave marker at the site dates from October, 1861. Across the road, to the east, lies the older Ayers Cemetery.



The cache container is camo'ed regular tupperware.
If you find a fallen US flag, please stick it back in the ground. As always, please be respectful, and cache in, trash out.

"Ohio Spirit Quest" is brought to you by the following fellows of GEOOSQ*: The SixDogTeam, THE SHADOW, The Moop Along, -Eleanor-, TeamMina.
