Words To Live By Multi-Cache

A short 2 part multicache just North of Jasper, Tx in Hancock Cemetery. For those that don't care for multicaches you can skip right to the hint for the final location...but trust me, seeing this entire cemetery and its surroundings is worth it!
"To laugh often,
To win the affection of children,
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
And endure the betrayal of false friends,
To appreciate beauty,
To find the best in others,
To leave the world a bit better, whether
By a healthy child, a garden patch,
To even know one life has breathed easier
Because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded."
I found these beautiful words on the back of headstone in this cemetery and was inspired to leave a cache here so others can experience this great surrounding.
The first coordinates will take you to the grave of Jerry Delaney, a citizen of the Republic of Texas. North coordinates of the final cache placement correspond with the day he died:
12/13/1890: N30 58.599
12/23/1890: N30 58.632
12/23/1899: N30 58.596
West coordinates of the final cache placement correspond with how his headstone is held together:
Bricks and Twine: W094 05.736
Wood and Twine: W094 05.723
Bricks and Wire: W094 05.737
You are looking for a small camouflaged Lock and Lock container containing the log and a few trade items.
On a separate note be sure to walk south of Jerry Delaney's resting place to see the resting place of members of the Pace family who are descendants of Richard Pace of the Jamestown Colony and Citizens of the Republic of Texas.
