Squire Boone Cemetery Traditional Cache

BYOP. Cache is located along the back edge of the cemetery. There is a gravel path going to the back which allows you to get within a few feet of the cache if there is no snow on the ground. If the gates are closed you can still access the cemetery by entering through on either side of the stone gate. Please respect the property and do NOT cache at night. It is about 800' walk if the gates are closed.

Squire Boone Cemetery is located in the SW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 11 in Worth Township, Boone County, Iowa. This cemetery was founded in 1848 and is well-maintained and has several hundred stones from recent all the way back to pioneer. I couldn't locate a lot of information about this place, but I did notice a lot of stones here with the name "Boone" on them. I am not certain whether or not the City of Boone was named after one of the pioneers buried here, but it would make sense. If you drive around the grounds you will see a couple of interesting features, such as the white outhouse to the S of where the cache container is hidden. If anyone has any further information about this cemetery, or who "Squire Boone" may be, please feel free to share it when you log your find.
