Geocache Description:

This is a 3 stage multi. You'll be looking for a medium sized lock-n-lock container. There is a container at the final. The other 2 stages are on stationary objects.

Springhill Cemetery was established in 1836, with the founding of Desoto County and its seat, Jefferson, now known as Hernando in the newly-taken Chickasaw Cession. It was the public burial ground for residents of the town, free and slave, until churches and other groups established separate cemeteries. By the time of the last major yellow fever outbreak in 1878, there were hundreds of graves, many or most unmarked today. Only 6 monuments date after 1900. During the later part of the 20th century, the old public burial ground became a pasture and woodlot. Today, efforts are being made to conserve the 100-odd 19th century monuments, conduct historic and archaeological investigations, and beautify the site with native vegetation and Victorian ornamentals and make it an historic and recreational asset for all residents.

At stage 1 you'll find the coords to stage 2.

At stage 2 you'll find an unusual grave marker. Add to the West coordinates below what the marker subtracts from the occupants age to get to the final stage.
