Geocache Description:


Nearest town: Van Wert
Earliest tombstone burial: Jan 15, 1857 
Latest tombstone burial:  1958 

History: This cemetery seems to be mostly for three families — McKee, Ramsey and Whittecar. (It has also been known as the Whittecar or Ramsey Cemetery.) Both McKees and Ramseys owned land around the cemetery.

Most of the stones have fallen or been pushed over.

In September 1980, the sheriff’s office raided a farm house looking for drugs and stolen property, and they found an old tombstone and the top off a large ornate stone. These two pieces were returned to the cemetery.

A long, steep lane leads to this out-of-the-way cemetery.  I worried that some vehicles would be unable to manage the lane, so I placed the cache at the bottom of the hill.
