Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE GIVEN COORDINATES. They bring you to a monument to the Andover cholera victims in Andover, Henry County, to get information for a cache located a few miles west of town.


Another cache in the Illinois Spirit Quest series and another cache in Andover, this cache is designed to bring you to a monument dedicated to the Swedish emigrants to Andover who died of cholera in 1849 and the 1850's. They were buried south of this marker.

However, there is another cache nearby, so this cache is located on a country road near the caches for the Jenny Lind Chapel Cemetery: IL Spirit Quest #133 (GC2BWOY) and Old Swedish Methodist Cemetery: IL Spirit Qst #134 (GC2BW5K) caches, so you might want to do them together.

x = year this marker was placed ____ ____ ____ ____

y = number of blocks in which the cholera victims were buried south of the marker ___

N 41° 17.0 (x - 1949) W 090° 19.(y + 172)
