Welcome to Forest Hill Cemetery. Here you will find some interesting art, including unique grave markers, mausoleums, and war memorial monuments.
This cemetery is a special place for us, as we have many relatives buried here including our son. Our cache team also has a Grandfather and a Great-grandfather buried here who both fought in the US Army during WWII. Several Putnam County cemeteries have a unique piece of history in the form of "tree" monuments. More than 100 years old, these grave markers were hand-carved of limestone by Jasper masons. At leaset four of these can be found here at Forest Hill. Putnam County has 58 Civil War Veterans buried throughout the county, three of whom are buried along with other family members. Please take time to visit the large Civil War Monument while you are here seeking this cache. The cache was hidden with permission from the mayor, and groundskeepers are aware of it. You are looking for a painted altoids container, and original contents include a tiny deck of playing cards, a marble, several bible tracts for cachers to keep, leave here, or move along to other caches. There is also a Lost & Found tag that is looking to be moved along. BYOP, and please be sure to replace it where you found it. Also please log any DNF's so that we know about potential maintenance needs or the possibility of muggling. We will keep an eye on the logs to ensure that any necessary upkeep will be done promptly. PLEASE BE COURTEOUS WHEN PICKING UP TRACKABLES FROM THIS CACHE. AFTER YOU LOG YOUR FIND, PLEASE GO TO THE ORIGINAL CACHE PAGE AND CLICK ABOVE THE MAP, INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE FOUND AND PICKED UP A TRACKABLE ITEM. Please note the individual trackable's goals when picking them up, and make sure that you are able to help it with its mission. **********CONGRATULATIONS TO FIREMAN633 FOR FTF!!!!!**********
