CitWW: Quaker Church & Cemetery 1872 (Multi) Multi-Cache

This is simple multi cache and another in my "Church in the Wildwood Series" - "CitWW:".

Small country cemeteries are absolutely amazing to me!

When you get to GZ:

• Find two four-digit numbers - call them "A" & "B";
• Add them together - call this sum "C";
• For the "Bearing" - add C's second and third digits together;
• For the "Distance" - multiply C's second and third digits together then multiply that product by twelve.

Good Projecting!

This is a wonderful little country cemetery, located just south of the pioneer village of Stirton Ontario in the Township - Mapleton, in county - Center Wellington, in the Province - Ontario. I have passed it many, many times on my way south and west to Yatton, Floradale, Elmira, and even Waterloo. The country line on which it is located, is a minor route from the northern parts of the Mapleton Township to its southern counterparts.

I so wish these old places could speak, this was the site of the "Peel Meeting of Society of Friends", otherwise known as the "Quaker Church and Cemetery circa 1872". The Peel Meeting was founded in 1841 as an “Allowed Meeting” by the Monthly Meeting of Young Street. On 24 August 1872, James Kiteley and his wife Isabella Jane conveyed one acre of their farm for the church and cemetery. Isaac Kiteley was witness to the Deed of Conveyance to the Trustees of Peel Meeting. The building no longer exists, but based on the surviving stones, the cemetery was in use between 1871 and 1894.

The following names are on the existing head stones:

• BISHOP, Francis 1816 - 1893 (age: 77)
• BISHOP, James 1817 - 1894 (age: 77)
• BISHOP, William 1847 - 1871 (age: 24)
• KISER, Albert 1833 - 1881 (age: 48)
• NEWTON, Lewis spouse
• NEWTON, Susannah 1826 - 1879 (age: 53)
