Geocache Description:


From the Galt Area Historical Society website:  

Elliott cemetery was started in 1859 by the Methodist Church with a part of it controlled by the Odd Fellows. Later, given up by the Odd Fellows and from then on owned solely by the Methodists. Interred are 45+ persons with about 40 presently identified.  The last burial was in 1948.

It is located 5.5 miles east of Highway 99 on Liberty road. It is between Sowles and Elliott road, on the south side. Liberty road is an exit off of 99 and is one mile south of Galt.

Recent improvements include a gate made by a local high school student, Morgan Flint, for his Boy Scout Eagle badge.

This is a cute little historical cemetery in our area, that quite tragically had no geocache.  To retrieve the cache, there is no need to go inside the cemetery, itself.  If you choose to go inside, please remember to be respectful of the place and its people.  Also, please remember to be mindful of snakes.  Although we've never seen any, this looks like prime territory.
