Third in a series honoring MiGO Cluedo!
Greenwood Cemetery was established between Leonard Street and Walker Avenue in 1859 when farmers Daniel and Sophronia Bush sold 20 acres to the city. This cemetery kept steady growth in size with an additional 20 acres added in 1883, and a 40-acre plot added in 1889. The 80-acre burial ground displays three types of landscape designs. In its early years, it was established as a park cemetery, while later it evolved into the “lawn cemetery style” in the 1860s with graves placed near gardens and trees. The north part of Greenwood is a hybrid of sorts; part lawn cemetery and part memorial park, with large monuments and curved drives paving the footpath around the grounds.
The headstones at Greenwood Cemetery aren’t lavish, likely due to the fact that the families who are buried there were of modest means, according to Dilley. The one exception is a large monument of William H. Harrison, a successful wagon and carriage manufacturer. Harrison’s monument is the largest marker in the cemetery. His family, including his first and second wives, are buried at the foot of the monument.
There are also several other caches to be found here - be sure to search for 'Creepy Carl' - not my cache - but definitely worth the trek into the woods - especially in the fall - don't worry - he's not so creepy!
Back to my cache - ****NOTE: Physical cache is not at posted coordinates*****
Once at the coords for Stage 1 - Read the sign in front of you and use the information printed on it to decipher the coords for the final stage: N 42 AB.CDE W 85 FGHIJ
A = Tens digit of the year Greenwood Cemetary was established
B = Add the hundreds and thousands digits in the year of establishment - the sum is the 'B' coordinate
C = Subtract the tens digit from the hundreds digit in the year of establishment
D = Last digit of the city offices phone number
E = Number of letters in the last two words on the sign!
F = Number of things/activities NOT permitted
G = Number of web/email addresses on sign
H = On what day in April can you start placing decorations in urns
