Geocache Description:


Years ago there was a cache here at this cemetery but it seems to have been archived.

The North Valentia Cemetery is a United Cemetery.  To my research, I believe that this cemetery is no longer in "operation".

Some interesting facts that I came across in regards to this cemetery are between 1866 and 1867 there were a lot of children and infant deaths, as approximately 1/3 of this cemetery is this age group.  There was a cholera epidemic in North America between 1866 and 1873.  The oldest moment I found was 1858 (which is 3 years younger than the first monument at the South Valentia Cemetery.), and the most recent and I believe last monument placed was in 2005. 

It's a beautiful old location with a lot of history.  I truly do enjoy the history in these smaller cemeteries.
