*gln: ARCHIVING ABANDONED CACHE

Looks like our timing is off and It’s time to say goodbye to this cache.

Since I haven't any maintenance here in a very long time, I am going to assume that your priorities have changed and you’ve gone in a different direction.

Let me know if I can be of assistance in the future.

Thanks a MILLION for all you have done, Glenn

Geocache Description:

Cache is placed inside Lee's Summit Historical Cemetery. The cemetery, in existence since 1867, sits on 20 acres and currently contains approximately 20,000 grave spaces.

The most notable of all people interred at LSHC is Thomas Coleman Younger, better known as Cole Younger. Younger was born in Lee’s Summit in 1844 and killed his first man during a border skirmish serving as a Confederate soldier in the Civil War. He was 21 when the Civil War ended in 1865, and he returned home to join his ailing mother and three brothers. Cole and his brothers, Jim, John, and Bob, all joined the James Gang and lived the lives of outlaws, which led to the 25-year prison sentence they would serve at the Minnesota State Prison. Cole was released from prison and returned to Lee’s Summit to live the life of a “model citizen”. He died in 1916 with 11 bullets still embedded in his body. Cole was buried in lot #12, with his brothers Jim and Bob and his mother, Bursheba, also buried nearby. There are thousands of others who have made LSHC their final resting place. The remains of those who could not afford to purchase a family lot are buried in a potter’s field. Many of the influenza victims of 1918, infants, and slaves, whose headstones (if they had them) have long eroded away, are buried in this section of the cemetery.
