Geocache Description:


---This cache is part of the Fayette County Bicentennial GeoTour---

Image from book DEEDS OF VALOR by W.F. Beyer & O.F. Keydel 

This peaceful cemetery has quite the history.  Buried here is William G. Cubberly, Medal of Honor winner. He served as a Private in the United States Army in Company L, 8th US Cavalry.    "With two other men he volunterred to search for a wagon passage out of a 4,000 foot valley wherein an infantry column was immobile. This small group passed six miles among hostile Apache terrain finding the sought passage. On their return trip down the canyon they were attacked by Apache, who were successfully held at bay."

His headstone can be found next to those of his family members near the gravel drive.
