Geocache Description:

 A plastic container in a country cemetery.  No night caching.  Should take less than one hour.  No public restrooms.  Available year round. If you find the difficulty rating is to high please let me know. If this is not replaced correctly it may result in it not remaining a 3 difficulty.


This is a small container  Once you get to the GZ, you will find a tree stump stone.  Tree stumps were used to symbol a life cut short.  Mr. Mattix was only 23.  Cassius (Cash) Mattix was believed to have died of "the Flux" in 1896.  According to his great-great nephew, the family believed he died from a eating a stolen watermelon.  The owner of the watermelon was tired of people stealing his crop, so he poisoned some. Cash apologized to his young wife before he died.  Artie was pregnant with their son.
