When i laid my eyes on this cemetery i knew i had to place a cache here! Welcome to Leeper Cemetery.
James Leeper, a Revolutionary War veteran(1775-1783), was the second settler in Fayetteville. His son Matthew was appointed receiver of the Land Office by President Andrew Jackson. The Leepers owned all the land on the south side of Mount Sequoyah to the White River, as well as lots around the Fayetteville square.
You will be looking for a micro magnetic cache only containing the log... you cannot see this cache you will have to feel for it. youll need to bring your own pen. Make sure to check out Combs Cemetery just around the corner. you will find more "Leeper" family members. Remember to always be respectful around headstones. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ENTER THE LEEPER PLOT TO GET THIS CACHE.
