Geocache Description:


 

This is a little known cemetery located in the new Shoal Creek Park in Montevallo. It is mentioned as the Perry-Hall cemetery which is associated with the Perry-Hall home that is the main building still on the property. The Perry's were some of the earliest residents in this area. The cemetery is also listed on the historical records as being located on the Mahler property, a family that became the owners in the 20th century and farmed there. There are about a dozen or so graves marked only with small rock headstones and one grave with bricks and a marker describing the inhabitant. Her full name was Mary Elizabeth Teague Lawler and she was born in Catawba, North Carolina in 1774. She was the oldest of 4 children and married Levi Lawler and eventually landed in Montevallo. There is a mention of an Elizabeth Lawler that was a sister to Jesse Wilson (considered to be the founder of Montevallo when it was known as 'Wilson's Hill') but I can't find any connection between them as her parents are listed as Isaac Newton Teague and Mary Judith Nall Teague. Apparently the name Levi was a favorite as she had one of her 6 children named Levi as well as a grandson.

To find the final stage you will have to find the grave marker and use that information to fill in a few letters in the coordinates. It is located at:

N 33.07.ABC and W 086.50.DEF

A = The number of letters in the top line.

B = Remaining number of lines of information NOT including the top line (ignore the notations at the lower corners)

C = The number of 5's in the date and year of her death.

D = Subtract the 1st number in the day of her death from the 2nd number in the day of her death.

E = Count the number of L's in her grandson's full name and subtract 3.

F = Subtract the 3rd number in the year of her death from the 4th number in the year of her death.
