Who's your neighbor? Traditional Cache

DangerKitties: Been missing for a while and this is a difficult location to keep a permanent cache. Maybe another time when I have more free time I will replace this location with something new.

Geocache Description:

A little cemetery hidden between two houses.

In 1845 Thomas Walters Dewalt (1822-1874) traveled from South Carolina and settled on nearby Oyster Creek. He soon established a plantation, and in 1850 set aside 1.2 acres of land for the burial of two sisters of Charlotte E. Brown, whom he married in 1858. However, the earliest marked burial here is that of Smyly Dewalt in 1869. The cemetery was formally set aside by deed in 1931. About 3.5 acres were added to the graveyard in 1983. Still in use, the Dewalt Cemetery is reserved for the Dewalt, Martin, Robinson, Roane, Bledsoe, and Cessna families.

The cache is located on the OUTSIDE of the cemetery since the interior is locked due to private property, so do not try to enter! You will be looking for a soda tube which contains a log and pencil.

The Dewalt Cemetery was introduced into the Texas Historical Commission as a Historic Texas Cemetery in 2004.

Congrats to Kalvey on FTF! (Yes tonight is our 3rd wedding anniversary and when she saw this get posted she took off and left me behind!)(Also she was not given a heads up by me with this cache)
