Geocache Description:

Adding to the Sumner County cemetery series. This cemetery is located on Eden Rd. between 120th & 130th N. Cemetery is located in Eden Township and from Milton 1 mile East and 1/2 mile North.

This cemetery was established about 1881. It measures 284' X 310'.

Feb. 22, 1889, a Warranty Deed was given for $1 by Charles Golton, Sr. and wife, Charlotte, to D.J. Boward, George G. Mead, C.F. Russell, Levi Jarvis, and R.A. Huxtable, as Trustees of the Eden Church and Cemetery Association. It was filed Aug 28, 1889.

In 1884, 3 of Charlie Golton's grandchildren died of diphtheria and were buried there within a few days of each other. In 1889, it was opened to the public and has since been known as the Eden Cemetery.

Mr. Golton gave this cemetery to the public on the condition it would always be well-tended.

Melvin Simpson was the caretaker many years. Later his son, Leland did the work and lost his life trying to straighten a very large stone which fell on him, killing him instantly. It was several hours before his body was found"

You are looking for a large camo-taped pill bottle. It contains a log and starting off with some small SWAG. It has room for small trackables or trinkets. Remember to BYOP. Please rehide as found and show respect to those that are buried here and the property.
