AngelMay3: Although we love bringing people here to look at this cemetery and old headstones, this cache has had many issues requiring maintenance. So, we decided to just let this one rest.

Geocache Description:



Blackshear Geocaching Challenge
Retired August 31, 2021

This cache was previously part of a now retired geocaching challenge in Blackshear! For more information about the challenge, go to Geocaching in Blackshear.




Sometimes you are reminded about how things used to be and how far we as a society have come. We noticed on the map that there are two different Shiloh cemeteries. This was quite confusing until we visited both Shiloh cemeteries. At that point we realized that one of them was the white Shiloh cemetery and the other was the black Shiloh cemetery. So it only seemed right that we highlight both cemeteries, since they both have so much history. As we walked around this cemetery, several headstones stood out to us as being unique. We hope you enjoy this little tour of the cemetery.

Please... DO NOT attempt this cache at night. At the posted coordinates, you will see a headstone for a Jewish soldier that fought in World War I. The death date on the headstone is May A, 1958. B = A - 3. The North coordinates for the final are N 31 18.AAB.

At the additional waypoint called Stage 2, you will see two graves with headstones that are partially handwritten. Find the headstone of Miss Lillieham. She was born on September 17, 193X. Y = X + 5. The West coordinates for the final are W 82 14.XYY.

The cache is not located inside the cemetery. Permission was granted by the land owner. Please be respectful of the area and enjoy the cache!
