Geocache Description:

A two-part puzzle cache that should be relatively easy to solve.


Oak Hill Cemetery

This cemetery is in a very rural area.  Surprisingly, there are a lot of burials here and three unknown graves.  The fence was recently replaced and the cemetery is very well maintained.  It is worth the drive down this dirt road to make a visit and see this beautiful cemetery.

The first stage of this cache will bring you to the cemetery gate.  Your task here is to answer two questions to complete your final GZ coordinates.  The second stage will take you to Emma Harriet Hadnot Riley.  The answer to her question will fulfill your North coordinates.  The third stage will take you to S.R. Smyth.  The answer to his question will fulfill your West coordinates.

NORTH: 30 49.____
WEST: 049 05.____

----

Once you reach Emma Harriet Hadnot Riley, please calculate what her age was.
If it was 47: 532
If it was 48: 535
If it was 57: 545
If it was 58: 547

Once you reach S.R. Smyth, please take note of what year he passed.
If it was 1900: 875
If it was 1904: 860
If it was 1914: 867
If it was 1924: 878

----

The completed final coordinates will lead you to the GZ, where you will be looking for a slender orange lock-and-lock box.
