"Monmouth, a village in Crawford county, is located in Sheridan township on the St. Louis & San Francisco R. R., 12 miles south of Girard, the county seat. It has an elevator, a few stores, churches and a school, telegraph and express offices and a money order postoffice with one rural route. The population according to the census of 1910 was 179. This is said to be the oldest town in Crawford county, having been laid off by L. Manlove on his own farm in 1866. The postoffice was established in that year and Manlove was the first postmaster."

Sadly, there isn't much left of the town now, except for this large cemetery, a church & a few houses.
This cemetery contains possibly the biggest, most magnificent oak tree, I think I have ever seen!
The cache is in the main cemetery area & you should be able to park right next to it - how easy is that! Please make sure you put it back as you find it, so it doesn't get lost. Thanks!!
Please use appropriate restraint & respect for the residents when visting. Also, the cemetery is maintained thanks to donations from visitors & there is a box for contributions at the cemetery entrance...
Congratulations to TrackinTwo for First To Find!
