Geocache Description:


At the posted coordinates you will find a memorial listing all the names of those people who were buried in the old Lutheran and Reformed church cemetery ~ 1810 to 1870. Their graves were reintered to this site in 1971 in order to make way to expand.  Their original headstones are located next to the memorial.

To find the location of the cache and sign the log you will need to examine the memorial and answer the questions.  The memorial is double sided and divided into 6 columns of names and dates.  For this puzzle, the columns will be referred to as 1 through 6 in alpha order and names will be counted from top to bottom.  Please respect the location and the congregation by not attempting this cache when there is a service in progress.
