Aaron Perry in 1854 allowed part of his land to be used as a burial ground called Oread Cemetery. Burials were without any system and may graves were unmarked and unrecorded, especially following Quantrill's Raid in August 1863. In the 1880s, The Grand Army of the Republic furnished markers for the Wisconsin regiment (eighteen members died of typhoid fever in 1862) and an obelisk to unknown soldiers of the Civil War.
When you enter the gate, think about the pioneers that came before you and established this community. You will look for a marker that is about 8"x 8" made of granite. Engraved on the granite stone is the letter "E". This is not the location of the cache, but a starting point to finding the cache. Once you have found the letter "E", walk 20 paces southeast to the cache. There are a few trinkets in the container and the log sheet. You will neet to bring a pencil or pen to write on the log sheet. Once you have found the cache, take a walk through history and visit some of the residence of this historic site.
