Geocache Description:

You will be attempting a short two stage multi cache. The first stage is at the graves of Obadiah and Hannah Mayfield, who were among the first settlers in this area.

The graves of Obadiah and Hannah Mayfield are found in the old section of the Dunn's Creek Church Cemetery. Their decendants, many of whom are buried around Obadiah and Hannah, lived, worked and worshiped here in Echola. Two of their grandsons buried nearby were soldiers in the Confederate Army.

Obadiah and Hannah Mayfield moved to this area from South Carolina. How they managed to find Echola is a mystery.

To find the final cache, glean information from their headstones and go to these coordinates:

33 21.6AB
87 47.6CD

A = On Hannah's marker, the second digit of the date of birth
B = On Hannah's marker, the last digit of the year of her death
C = The number of letters in the name of the District where they were born.
D = On Hannah's marker, the first digit of the date of birth.
