Cache Details:
The listed way point is the one way in and one way out of Bellefontaine Cemetery, so MARK THIS WAYPOINT. So now to find the cache I will give you a waypoint. Well that is a loose terminology I will help you get the waypoint by looking in certain areas to obtain the needed information. So this is a lot like a cemetery scavenger hunt once you get to the waypoint you will have to search around. So lets get started on the real fun stuff:
Stage one: Robert A Barnes is the founding father of Barnes hospital. Go to his grave and look around. Barnes left around 800,000 dollars to the methodist church for the hosptial. The main reason for him leaving this money for Barnes was that his children died during infancy and he wanted build a hospital for "for sick and injured persons, without distinctions of creed." To get your bearing for the next stage you must find the name of his son. Take the FULL name of his son and add up the number of letters call this A. Take A and multiply this number by 21.3 to get the bearing in degrees. Now you must find the name of his daughter. Take the FULL name of his daughter and add up the number of letters call this B. Take B and multiply this number by 86.0278 to get the distance in feet. Be sure to check the picture to make sure you are in the right location.
(A X 21.3)= Bearing in Degrees
(B X 86.0278)=Distance in feet
Stage two: Adolphus Busch known as a beer baron but how did he become this. Busch had been looking for a loan but had been rejected at many locations. Barnes was the bank president at a time when Busch needed a loan for 50,000 dollars although having been rejected at multiple locations Barnes took a chance and loaned the money. In the end this turned out well, for after Barnes death Busch put in multiple thousands of dollars to help get Barnes hospital funded and built. This gothic chapel is a very good spot to take a photo. You are looking for for three words on a lintel in Latin. Your mission is to translate these 3 words to english then add up the letters in the last word to equal C. Take C and multiply this number by 17.3 to get the bearing in degrees. This area was the Busch family plot with his father and other family members buried here, Lilly his wife was not happy with the orginal mausoleum so she had it torn down and this current Chapel now stands where it was. Where did family that was in the mausoleum go? I would like you to see how many family members can you find here in this plot, look behind the cahpel for them, this is D. Add C + D then take that number multipled times 105.9 to get the distance in feet to the next waypoint. Be sure to check the picture to make sure you are in the right location.
(C X 17.3) = Bearing in degrees
( C+D) X 105.9 = _______the distance in feet to the next waypoint.
Stage three: Theodore Link, was the architect for Union Station in St Louis, which saw 100,000 people and 290 trains in its heyday. Theodore Link designed this structure which was meant to form a stylistic unity with the medical school buildings across Euclid Avenue. In consultation with the well-known hospital planner Dr. S. S. Goldwater, Link used innovative ideas to create a building with spacious wards, laboratories, and operating rooms. He designed St. Louis Children’s Hospital in a similar fashion, so that these structures would present a harmonious ensemble from Kingshighway to Euclid. If you walk around the campus of Barnes hosptial you can see the many buildings that have been added and modified throughout the years, Barnes still stands. This waypoint should take you to the Link family plot. You will be coming back to this waypoint later, thats the design. You will be looking for Virginia Cabanne Link, she will give you the next waypoint. To get the bearing for you next waypoint take the last two digits of her death year, EF. Next your will need the distance in feet (Second digit of birth year G, Birth month (digit form) - second digit of birthday H, Last digit of death year= I. Be sure to check the picture to make sure you are in the right location.
EF is bearing in degrees
GHI is the distance in feet
Stage four: Frank Rand is known for becoming one of the largest shoe manufactures is the world, 1923. Frank Rand, for us is known as being, a member of the Hospitla board as well as, a patient in Barnes hospital and ultimatley died in Barnes. Frank and his family donated over 300,000 dollars to the hospital in 1928. So as you walk around the hospital you will see the Rand Johnson elevators which serve most floors at the hospital. But who is Johnson? Johnson was his cousin arriving at the Rands family plot you will notice the Johnsons are buried beside them. You will be looking for E. Stephens and Jacqueline H Rand. I thought this one was cool due to the fact she is still alive! So to the north coordinates take the sum of digits on Stephens grave (all digits added up 1+2+3+4) JK, multiple by 1.3775 = N 38 LM.NOP Then to get the west coordinates find Jacqueline and take the sum of her digits (all digits 1+2+3+4) QR, multiple by 0.6165 = W 090 ST.UVW. Be sure to check the picture to make sure you are in the right location.
(JK X 1.3775) = N 38 LM.NOP
(QR X 0.6165) = W 090 ST.UVW
Stage five: Edward Mallinckrodt Sr. co-founded G. Mallinckrodt & Company, Manufacturing Chemists, in 1867, with his brothers, Otto and Gustav. They died young; the reins went to Edward Jr. in 1928. What they did: Established and led the first chemical manufacturing company west of Philadelphia. During WWI and WWII, Mallinckrodt manufactured narcotic analgesics for the troops and purified uranium for the Manhattan Project. The company remains a leading producer of barium sulfate for x-ray analysis. Why it mattered: The good: While Mallinckrodt is now a billion-dollar division of Covidien, its headquarters remain in Hazelwood, and its radiology division still works diagnostic miracles for Barnes-Jewish hospital and Washington University Medical School. All Radiological procedures at Barnes are performed thorugh this 8 story tower inside Barnes. You will be visiting the Mallinckrodt family mausoleum. Here you are looking for a phrase you have heard many times. Where does this phrase come from? You will need to find the name of the book it is in and then the verse and line. Take the sum of the book name and subtract 1 to get X and multiple this number by 52.92 to get bearing in degrees. Then take the take the chapter and verse remove the decimal (chapter 15 verse 1 would be 15.1 removing decimal would be 151) and add 157.8 to get your distance in feet. Be sure to check the picture to make sure you are in the right location.
(X times 52.92)= bearing in degrees
(Z + 157.8)= distance in feet
Stage six: Gerty Cori is here for the fact that she won a Nobel Medicine Prize, even to date there have only been 12 women nominated. Gerty was the third women in the world to earn this honor, and the very first American woman. Gerty and Carl immigrated to the US in 1922, they were Jewish seeking safety. Washington Universtiy was the only institute to offer her and her husband equal pay and status. Gerty is not buried here, her body was given to science. As you go up to the Cori family plot, what earned her the prize, is now taught in seventh grade science, medicine and science change so fast. Inside the family plot you will be looking for Samuel F Atkins. Once you find Samuel determine how old he was in years + 147 to get you bearing in degrees. Next while your here find his wife Barbara and determine how old she was in years and multiply by 6.889 will give you the distance in feet. Be sure to check the picture to make sure you are in the right location.
(his age + 147) = bearing in degrees
(her age X 6.889)= distance in feet
Stage seven: Edgar Queeny, Seventeen-story Queeny Tower, named for benefactor (500,000 dollar endowment) Edgar Monsanto Queeny, opened in 1965. The Tower pioneered a new approach to patient care: treating the patient as a whole person, not merely a bundle of medical needs. This is a very visible part of the Barnes hospital complex. You are looking for your final grave, the Queeny family plot. For the first time you are going after the man himself on his stone there are only two dates. Look low to the ground and determine Edgars age from the numbers provided on the stone ONLY. Next we will take and add up his full name on the grave marker = Q1. Finally we will take the first and second digit of death and add this to the second digit of birth = Q2. Be sure to check the picture to make sure you are in the right location.
(letters in name) = Q1
(first and second digit of death and add this to the second digit of birth) = Q2
Final Location is: J E L M. 0{X (18)}- 1) = the north coordinates
K C F S T. {A (Q1) + B(Q2) + 7} = the west coordiantes
