This cemetery is located just west of the village of Marne, on the north side of route 585 (Marne Rd.). You will see a wooden cemetery sign in a grassy glen, just east of a drive which leads up to several residences and the cemetery is not visible from the road. The cemetery is up on the hill behind the wooden sign. You will then notice the cemetery stones once you get to the top of a bluff over- looking the highway below. This cemetery is very old, there are still readable stones here dating back to 1812. Next to the cemetery near the front, there's evidence of an old foundation which originally was built by the Methodist society. Older maps & books mention both Bowling Green Cemetery & Channell Cemetery, but old records & the folks residing in the area say they never heard of a Channell Cemetery. This cemetery is described in 1910 as being neglected and it seems that it's care has not improved much. It is still not well kept, evidence of mowing, but no trimming and lots of poison ivy everywhere. Many of the stones are in disrepair, either toppled and broken. Some are so weathered that complete transcriptions are near impossible. Amongst the tombstones are several belonging to the Stadden family. It is believed that this family is the namesake of one of the local roads named Staddens Bridge Road.
You are looking for a small camouflaged container with room for small tradeable items. Please try not to lose the rubber band and when done, do not overly tighten the cap. There is a small gift in a plastic bag for the FTF.
Be respectful of the area and the residents. No night caching
Congratulations to billyross on your first FTF
