Bernhard Adam Cemetery is a hidden gem among all the development around it. It was here that I found my first ever letterbox cache. I would have never found this cemetery without geocaching. For being such a small cemetery, there is a lot of history here including a good number of veterans.
The meeting house that used to stand here no longer does. Check out the gallery for a few old photos of it.
The parking and access to the cemetery is listed as a waypoint. Please be respectful as this cemetery is close to the school and houses. No night caching is allowed.
In order to get the coordinates for the final cache, you will have to do some exploring. Don't worry I picked all veterans to make it easier on you. Have fun on this short tour!
The posted coordinates are for the entrance gate to the cemetery. There is a historical stone with information on the wall next to the gate.
A=Meeting house and burial ground established in 174___
Now for the veterans:
B=Irvin D. Schwartz, World War I, 1899-19___5

E=Jacob Ringler, Civil War, 1st PA Cav ___4th Regt

Fill in the blanks and you will have the numbers needed to calculate the final coordinates.
