Family Tree #3: North Cedar Cemetery Multi-Cache

Genealogy is my other hobby and it has taken me to almost as many cemeteries as geocaching. A combination of the two seems like a natural fit. This cache will be part of an CONNECTED series of caches in cemeteries where I have a family connection. As always with cemetery caches, please be respectful and no night time caching allowed. This is a small cemetery that still has some infrequent burials. Please avoid doing the cache if there is a service in progress.

This small peaceful cemetery is the final resting place of my ggg-grandparents. Unlike with other caches in this series, I have not been able to find any pictures of them. He served in a regiment during the Mexican-American War and his father was a drummer in the War of 1812. His paternal grandfather hauled supplies to the soldiers during the American Revolution. He was the grandson and great-grandson of Revolutionary War veterans on his mother's side. His great-grandparents immigrated from Germany to the new world in 1754 and his grandfather was born aboard the ship while crossing the Atlantic Ocean. His great-grandfather, Peter Phillip Helphenstine, was a shoemaker and it has been passed down through the generations that he made a pair of shoes for George Washington. Whether this is true, or not, cannot be confirmed, but they did live in the same area of Virginia. He was a major during the revolution and he died from some injuries before the end of the war. His family received large sections of land in the Fleming county, Kentucky area in exchange for his service and it is here that my ggg-grandfather was born.
My ggg-grandmother was also born in Kentucky. There is not much known about her father's family. They were likely Scotch-Irish immigrants who immigrated to America before the revolution and scattered throughout the Appalachian backcountry. Like her husband, my ggg-grandmother's maternal grandfather and great-greatfather was veterans of the American Revolution. Her great-grandfather was killed during the Battle of the Cowpens in South Carolina, near the end of the war.
They married during the Civil War and had five children in Kentucky. My gg-grandfather was their oldest child. In 1885, they loaded everything in a wagon and moved to northeast Kansas. They ran a boarding house in Denison. They are buried here with two of their children. Their marker is in need of repair and plans are being made to take care of that, but you will easily be able to gather the information you need from the marker to find the location of the cache. They share a headstone with their daughter, Emma and their son has a small headstone immediately south of the larger marker. You will use the years found on both markers, but it is interesting to note that the years of birth and death listed on the marker are wrong for both of my ggg-grandparents. The year of death for my ggg-grandmother is off by FIVE years!!! She actually passed away five years before the year listed on the marker. I have seen this often while exploring cemeteries, but never by quite that much.
