There are really old graves at this cemetery. There is even one
that has been totally covered by vegetation. Another one is so old
that a whole tree has grown on top of it. You will see that the
concrete flower bed that was built around the grave site is broken
because of the roots.
I found an obituary for a woman that you can try to find in this
cemetery. She died in 1961 and she was an immigrant from
Germany.

Anyways at this area you are looking for a pill bottle that is
camouflaged. I attached some wire ties to the cache to make it
easier to retrieve from its hideout. Please make sure you hide it
well after finding it, and pay special attentio to let the wire
ties accessible for the next geocacher.
The cemetery has not have a curfew but please restrain
yourselves to go find after sunset or if anybody is having a
service or visiting those resting here.
