Geocache Description:

Revived the container that was placed here by another cacher and must now be archived. Just moved it to a new spot. Even used the original log. Turned it to a fresh page so FTF will be the starter of a new cache.

Swallows cemetery sleeps here in windswept sunshine. The community of Swallows (named for the birds who built nests all along these bluffs) was first settled in the 1870's by adventurous, reckless, and curious pioneers who were determined to carve out a living in the West. Here they found an attractive spot with plenty of bottomland, fertile soil and abundant water. Today this cemetery is all that remains of that once vibrant community. You see only open spaces, fishing holes, turkey habitats and wetlands where once cornfields, orchards, and livestock thrived. Many children, who died of diptheria, typhoid, and meningitis, are resting here. The three MC Elroy boys all died in July 1891.
For more information about Swallows go to my cache GC4481H.
