I was awestruck by how many markers there are here for veterans of the revolutionary war. In fact, those are the only markers you need to find. They are the closest to the road. The further back you go, the more recent the conflict that is represented. You can see markers from the civil war, WW I, WW II, Korea, and Vietnam.
This is a micro cache so no room for any swag. Bring your own writing implement. Also, it is located a short drive away so don’t be surprised
A small cemetery in Yates County. No night caching please. Do not upset or disturb any markers or headstones. You do not need to move or touch any of them to collect the information needed. Gentle respect for the occupants is expected. Please don't bring animals or allow small children to run about. If you have your children with you, by all means have them help collect the information you need and use this as a learning experience for them about proper cemetery behavior.
Here is a cemetery cache with a little work involved. You have to locate certain headstones and use the dates to calculate the final cache location. When you have a date such as 1/1/2016 add the zero in the day field to yield the needed number (e.g. 1012016).
Find the following stones and make note of the dates of death listed.
William Hilton 3/18/____
Daniel Crane 4/02/____
Cyrus Buel 11/13/____
Sum up the dates and subtract 14092424 to determine Latitude for the cache location
Now find the following stones and make note of the dates listed.
Moses Gage 6/29/____
Daniel Brown 3/07/____
Ezra Cole 4/30/____
Sum up the dates and subtract 5962533 to determine Longitude for the cache location
