In 1914 my Grandmother's oldest sister died and for the past 100 years someone in my family has helped maintain her grave site. When I started to help with the maintence the sister's name had been lost to time and so the family called her Mary. She remained Mary until my Grandmother passed away and in the course of cleaning out her home we discovered the family Bible with her real name, Eva Fern, written down.
Now it is time for my fellow geocachers to re-find Eva Fern. The first stage will take you to my Grandmother, Blanche Saffell, grave site. Then you will need to meet the other members of my Grandmother's family to help you locate the cache. The information needed to find the cache and final location is in cemteries so NO NIGHT CACHING!
