Geocache Description:


You are seeking a short two stage multi cache that begins at the grave marker for Joseph B. Edmondson.

There isn’t much to report about Joe; he got married to Rebecca and together they had a house full of children. The census lists 7 children over a about 10 years.

There is no record of Joe in the Civil War, although he was of the right age to have served. If he wasn’t part of the service he likely farmed, as most did in this rural part of Tuscaloosa County.

To locate the final, gather information from his marker.
