Chuck Walla: Greetings from Geocaching.com,

Since you have not responded to my reviewer log about your cache, nor did you post a note to your cache page telling me and others of your intention to address the issue with it, the cache has been archived.

Some time ago, I posted a note to your cache page requesting a response from you to post what you were planning to do with the cache on the page and to send me a note. I have no record of a response, and no response tells me that you are not planning on replacing or repairing this cache. If I am wrong with that assumption, please let me know promptly. I can always unarchive the cache for you if needed.

Sincerely,

Chuck Walla

Geocache Description:

Fick Cemetery is the oldest cemetery in Harrison, AR.
This cemetery is located in a residential area so extreme stealth will be required. Cache contains only a Log and a pencil.

There are no marked graves, and no known records as to who is buried there.

Captain Henry W. Fick is the founding father of Harrison. The cemetery is located on what was then his land. It is believed that Fick cemetery was originally a burial site for black slaves and later used as the cemetery for the black community. After the race riots in 1905 – 1910, in an effort to erase all traces of the black community, the headstones were removed and destroyed. No one knows where the graves actually are now, but they do know that they exist.

Fick Cemetery is a stark reminder of Harrison’s past, a part that present residents are not very proud of. Residents are trying hard to remove the stigmatism that plagues Harrison still today.
