Geocache Description:

Onondaga County is rich with old rural cemeteries, all which are rife with historical significance. See http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyononda/CEMETERY.HTM for more on the topic. On to your challenge:

Please email the cache owner before you log this, as to not give away the answers. After your answers are verified, feel free to log- but please do not include the answers in your log!

Take a ride on a country road, and find the start of this cache in western Onondaga County. Supply this information for verification before logging:

1. What is the name of the cemetery?

2. When was it established?

3. William Fikes was the son of Peter and Martha. When did he die, and at what age?

Extra Credit!- What rural cemetary is almost due west at 277 degree bearing (from William Fikes), 3.43 miles away?

Makes for a nice drive, especially in fall as the leaves turn. Beware of ghosts!!
