Geocache Description:

Apparently. once upon a time there used to be a cache here. For whatever reason, it disappeared.

So now, this cemetery once again  has a  cache. Very historical little place......... lots of interesting old stones.
Anyhoo .................. updated hiding spot is not as high up as it was in the past............
Interesting choice of cache decoration in just a random container.......... good luck.

A country lane runs on the north side of the Delaware Cemetery, an Indian burying ground located on an acre of land a half mile north of the Kansas River on the east side of Leavenworth County Route 1.
The Retsingers deeded the land for the cemetery in the 1870s so Delaware Indians who lived in this area from 1829 to 1866-67 would have a burial place. Louie Koerner said the Indians were buried in the northeast quarter of the cemetery but did not have headstones put on their graves.
A cemetery plaque at the site traces a bit of the Delaware history. It says, "We will have peace as long as the moon will rise and set on the Kaw" and: "We honor the early settlers who came here to build homes, schools and churches and respect the government of our country. This plot of land was set aside for a burial plot and some settlers were buried in the northeast corner without a record of their names. A few Indians intermarried with the German settlers and most of the names listed here are part Delaware Indian."
