Geocache Description:

A small container hidden in a hilltop cemetery. Just a log. BYOP.

On January 15, 1912, James Bates Gay and his mother, Betty Munn Gay sold 2.143 acres to the Private Colored Toland Chapel Cemetery Association for use as a cemetery. The original deed refers to the cemetery as the "Private Colored Poland Chapel Cemetery," but the name is corrected in the release filed some months later. That name almost immediately fell into disuse. Death certificates from as early as 1918 refer to the cemetery by its now universal name, the Gay Hill Cemetery. The history of Colorado County as described in The Handbook of Texas Online (visit link) describes and area steeped in Texas history. Interesting read for sure.
