Geocache Description:

This cache is with the 2015 CCGT Forgotten Clearfield County Geotrail.  Use your CCGT passport to collect 25 codes found in each cache to redeem for your 2015 CCGT geocoin.


In addition, if you have completed all 5 years of the CCGT & you have your passport validated, a special trackable geocoin will be available in June. Visit www.visitclearfieldcounty.org/outdoors/geotrail for more information about the Clearfield County Geotrail, passports, geocoins & previous geotrails that are still open.

Clearfield County is full of old and historic locations, buildings and remnants of by gone eras.  Come and cache Clearfield County to learn about its rich history through ghost towns, abandoned cemeteries, Civil War uprising and its rich Native American presence.

On December 28, 1887, James Snyder set aside 10 acres here to be known as "The Snyder Cemetery".  The first grave was opened a year later.  Over the years, different parts of this cemetery have been known as Coalport, Chelton Hill and Beers.  Perpetual care was officially established in November 1978 at which time the association named it "The Lyleville Cemetery".  One stone here is inscribed in Italian.  Translation is that the person passed away from the Spanish Flu during the epidemic in 1918 that lasted 2 years and killed 10 times the people who died in WWI.

Please be respectful while here and no night caching please.
