Geocache Description:

There are over 50 listed Cemeteries in Coos County, Oregon. Many are older Cemeteries containing only a few graves on the hillsides or backyards of the family homesteads. A few are community Cemeteries used by small, sometimes defunct towns dotting the county.

This Cache is located at a larger cemetery containing 130 - 140 interments currently, dating back to 1863 and some with no readable dates which may be older. Respect the area, but do see how many Family names you recognize that were used to name areas and features of the county.

Old Cemeteries are very nice to visit as long as they don't become neglected and full of trash...if you see any litter pick it up and dispose of it properly to keep it nice for others to visit.

You will need to open the gate to access this Cemetery, there is a post to chain the gate open during your visit. Note the many Myrtlewood trees that line the entrance to this area.

PLEASE: Remember to Close and Chain Gate after your visit.
