Geocache Description:


This series will mainly focus on older, near forgotten burial plots of pioneers in the Niagara Region and beyond. The goal of this series is not necessarily the length of the walk nor the difficulty of the find, but rather a simple reverence for those who came before us to shape our area.

 

Located on the south side of Highway 3, between Empire and Pleasant Beach roads, on Concession 2, Lot 4 of Humberstone township. The small cemetery is still active though burials appear to be infrequent. The oldest monument is in memory of Mrs. Nancy Snider who died in 1904.

It has been known by several names. In its early years it was known as the “Sherkston Cemetery”, the “Stauth Cemetery”, “Sherk Cemetery”, and the “United Brethren Cemetery”.

 

The burials for 32 gravestones contain the following surnames. (Bearss, Benner, Berger, Black, Borland, Coopman, Haun, Jansen, Mathes, Sherk, Shisler, Shupe, Sider, Snider, Stauth, Taylor, Ward, Wilhelm, Worthington.)

Have fun and happy caching!
