This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

Santa's caches are ones that we decided to hide in honor of the jolly ol' elf himself. All of the cache containers have something connected to Christmas carols.  This one is the first Noel, which means first Christmas.  We pass by this place everyday.  To get this cache, you do not have to enter the cemetery, but it is an interesting visit.  Parking is almost at GZ.   

The chapel was built by Stephen Ott, a local farmer who also hosted nondenominational prayer meetings at his house. After the meetings grew too large, Ott built the chapel with the help of his neighbors in 1871. Ott conducted prayer meetings and Sunday School at the chapel until his death in 1875, after which his wife Jane took over until 1881. The chapel was later run by George A. Blake from 1889 to 1910.
