John Walcks gave 2 acres of his land for the Red Bud Community Cemetery. The cemetery is maintained by Maple Township. It is located in Cowley County. When looking for a spot for a cache I saw this metal engraving of a spider and its web. I decided to use this theme for my cache. You will need a TOTT to get to the cache so be careful. Please put everything back the way it should go.
The Spider and the Fly is a poem by Mary Howitt published in 1828. The first line of the poem is "Will you walk into my parlour?' said the Spider to the Fly." Often it is misquoted as "Step into my parlour" or "Come into my parlour". I used the misquote of "Come into my parlour" because it makes more since to my cache.
The story tells of a spider who ensnares a fly through the use of seduction and flattery. The poem is a cautionary tale against those who use flattery and charm to disguise their true intentions.
This cemetery also has a true tragedy in it. I looked at Ghostiegal's description and learned of a love tragedy of two graves. Katheryn Haynes and William McQuitty. When Katheryn's father, Daniel Haynes a wealthy farmer, died he put in his will that she couldn't marry until she was 25 years old. She was in love with William McQuitty, a poor but worthy young man. She was only 18 and was heart broken so she shot herself with a revolver and 4 days later William also shot himself with a shotgun. Now they are buried side by side in this cemetery. It you have time please go and see their graves.
