Geocache Description:


This site originally included an Apostolic Church which was relocated to this site around 1906 from Noffke’ s farm at Loganlea.  The land at Tygum was donated by Hilda Spann who lived on the adjacent site. Pastor Sempf administered the church.  The graveyard evolved alongside the church.  Graves date to 1906.  There are at least 21 graves on site although only eight have been formally identified.  The church was destroyed by the 1936 tornado, and rebuilt on site.  It was removed to Ipswich in 1949.


To collect the numbers for the final, read the headstones in the row alongside the road leading down towards the river.  S 27° 41.ABC′ E 153° 07.XYZ
