This is a micro cache so no room for any swag. Bring your own writing implement.
A tiny cemetery in Ontario 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.
On the marker in the south east corner, who is on the bottom facing south?
On this same marker, who faces west?
In the south west corner, this person faces east
Sum up the dates and subtract 23423863 to determine Latitude for the cache location
On the northeast corner, she is on the bottom facing west
This name is one to the south of the above.
Go one more to the south to get this name
Sum up the dates and subtract 10694931 to determine Longitude for the cache location which is a short drive away.
