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!
Shibboleth Cemetery Cache is a unique cemetery with 51 native limestone markers without names or dates. Shibboleth, located on the northwest quarter of section 7, township 5, range 28, was surveyed and platted in April 1886. There never was a town but the plats and survey have caused much worry and trouble in giving title to this quarter section of land. Isaac P. Peck was appointed postmaster and the office established September 31, 1904, when it was discontinued. 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.
