Geocache Description:


Cemetery Sleuth Ohio, Case #1
The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but it's nearby.

The posted coordinates will bring you to the entrance of West Lawn Cemetery on State Route 82 just west of Mantua Center. Once at the cemetery, find the exact spot where the photograph below was taken. Then identify which gravestone is missing from the picture and use the information found on that stone to complete the final coordinates for the cache.

The cache is not located on or connected to any grave site or marker. Hours are dawn to dusk only. Please be respectful of the cemetery grounds and visitors. If there are people at the cemetery, honor their privacy over a smiley and try the cache at another time.

 
If you are caching paperless, don't forget to take this photo (or a way to display it onsite) with you.



Solve for N 41° 18.ABC W 81° 14.DEF, where:

A = Last digit of the year they were married
B = Number of masonry tools minus 1
C = Year she died minus year he died
D = Sum of the last two digits of his birth year
E = Number of letters in her first name
F = Number of grandchildren minus number of children


The inspiration for this cache was peach107's What's Missing? series in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Excellent ideas are worth transplanting!
