Geocache Description:

A quick puzzle for another historic cemetery in Rehoboth, MA. Permission was given by the Rehoboth Historical Society for this hide. You can either solve this at home or make it into a field puzzle when you locate the cemetery, which obviously isn't in the middle of a pond. Once you have the coordinates you're looking for a matchstick container so please bring your own writing utensil.

The "Joseph Stillman Pierce Yard" is also known as Rehoboth Historic Cemetery #16. There are 35 interments. More info can be found here and here.
Please be considerate of the residents and the neighbors.

Using the above information or a walk around the cemetery (we recommend the 1st method since there seem to be some conflicting dates if you try it as a field puzzle), the cache can be found here:

N 41 A.B0
W 71 C.D1

A: Daniel F Barney died November 4, 18A
B: William Goff was born in 1B(+1)0
C: Nathan Pierce died November 4, 18C
D: John H. Pierce died June D(+3), 1847
