Geocache Description:


Minnesota Spirit QuestMnSQ: George William Rud

The cache is not located near a grave... Please be respectful and cache in, trash out. Also, please only search for cache during daylight hours.

At the posted coordinates, you should look for the grave Medal of Honor recipient George William Rud. On August 29, 1916 (as a 32 year old), he displayed extraordinary heroism in the line of his profession while attached to the U.S.S. Memphis, at a time when that vessel was suffered total destruction from a hurricane while anchored off Santo Domingo City, 29 August 1916. Chief Machinist's Mate Rud took his station in the engine room and remained at his post amidst scalding steam and the rushing of thousands of tons of water into his department, receiving serious burns from which he immediately died.

On the gravestone of George, he was born in the year 18___. Consider this AB.
