Geocache Description:

This cache will take you into burial grounds. A bronze monument of a grieving family stands sentinel over this sacred cemetery, a peaceful and wooded resting place for early pioneers who sacrificed their lives in search of religious freedom.

The cemetery is located on the south side of Parley Street two miles east of Highway 96 in Nauvoo (Durphy Street). Most of the Saints who died in Nauvoo are buried here. Some of those buried in the Durphy Street Cemetery were moved here as a result of closing that cemetery.

Written on the walls of the Pavillion: On these walls are the names of some of those who died while living at Nauvoo between 1839 and 1846. There are others, we know not who or how many, as time has erased them from our records and our memories. Many of them were children and each of them had a story worth telling. We don't know all of their stories but we do know that they are loved and the Savior knows and loves each one."
