train1904: An expert Geocaching team didn’t find this one so I decided to archive. I have moved from the area I just can’t do enough maintenance.

Geocache Description:

Francis Patrick Berry served as a Sergeant in F Company, 14th Cavalry Regiment, Missouri State Militia (Union Army). He fought at the Battle of Ozark, Missouri. This multicache will take you to his grave in historic Berry Cemetery.  Note that there is not a container at his grave but you will get the information that you need by visiting it. 


This multicache is in a cemetery so it must be done during daylight hours - NOT AT NIGHT.  There are two ways to get the final coordinates. You can either visit his grave and look at the marker or you can look at the title of this geocache and use a hint there to get the information that you need online before you come to the cemetery.  There is a good chance that you may not have cell signal at the cemetery.

The final coordinates will be at N36 56.AAA W22.BBB

Find Berry's birth year to get AAA

  • If his birth year was 1817, then AAA = 512
  • If his birth year was 1827, then AAA = 712
  • If his birth year was 1837, then AAA = 912

Find Berry's death year to get BBB

  • If his death year was 1865, then BBB = 160
  • If his death year was 1875, then BBB = 260
  • If his death year was 1885, then BBB = 360

Once you have the coordinates, then its just a short walk to the final location where you will find a green pill bottle containing a bison tube containing a baggie containing the log (so it ought to stay dry!).
