Welcome to the Decatur County Cemetery Series! This series will take you to every corner of Decatur County and in between to discover the cemeteries of today and long since past. Who knows; you might just find some long-lost lineage!
Trappers were trapping along the Beaver in the winter of 1872 and 1873. In this group was Joe Dimick, who decided to settle in the county. He camped the first winter on the present site of Cedar Bluffs. In the summer of 1873 James Jones, Lem Daniels, Clarence and Joseph Rathbone, James Addis, Joe Turby and Frank Kimball all took claims along the Beaver. Some of these men played an important role in the Indian raid of 1878. The town was named for the cedar covered bluffs to the southeast of the town was designated as a postoffice December 4, 1873. The townsite was surveyed and platted by the Lincoln Land Company in May 1886. While Cedar Bluffs has remained a town all these years and will no doubt remain so, it has never been incorporated. Cache is a camouflaged ammo can with "Official Geocache" markings.
This being a cemetery series, the utmost respect when entering and searching is imperative. None of the caches involve ANY desecration of graves or cemetery property, and none should be reported or this series will be disabled. All caches are relatively easy and require little searching or bushwhacking. If a funeral service is being held in the cemetery, DO NOT ENTER. We want you to be respectful not only to the 'residents' of the cemetery, but to the families. Just use your head and you should do just fine. Please, NO NIGHT CACHING. Many of these cemeteries have curfews from dusk to dawn.
