Geocache Description:

This is a field puzzle. You will use information from a virtual stage one to complete the coordinates for stage two which is a short walk from stage one.
 


Raw Jackson and his wife Jane (or Jenny) Lonsdale lived and died on one of the first farms in Orange Township, Ohio. They are buried on this spot near Lander Circle which many people drive past countless times without ever realizing these graves are here.  What was once Orange Township is now the five communities that comprise the Orange City School District: Orange, Moreland Hills, Pepper Pike, Hunting Valley and Woodmere.

To determine coordinates for stage two, use the birth and death dates for Raw Jackson. The dates are easier to read on the obelisk next to the headstone.
