Geocache Description:

Above Coordinates take you to the Cemetery driveway. This going to be a puzzle you have to use the dates on certain headstones. The Headstone will be mentioned in the cache description and some math will have to be done also. Hint of Warning watch out for the spirits because they will haunt you if the cache is not placed back where it is found.

Now there are 2 people named Francis Howell buried here. 1 is buried midway in the Cemetery and the other buried toward the back. I will use Francis # 1 for the north and Francis 2 for the west.
Francis Howell # 1 has only the date the he or she passed away.
Add the month day and year together + 20-1000 equals the last 3 digits of the North coordinates. Okay now on to Francis Howell #2
got this persons headstone and add month, day and year born and the
month, day and year of passing away and add both of them together then add 40.943 to that and this is the west coordinate.

Due to the nature of this cache I will change the difficulty and terrain
due to talking with a certain person (not Ed) I will put this as a normal puzzle cache not a Liar cache. the 2 rating is after it rains or snows.
