Geocache Description:

You are looking for a cemetery in the Long Branch community, south of Enid Lake. There are several ways there & all are paved. It's a nice drive, a little work, some great history, & several nice surprises.

The Bell Witch" haunted the Bell family from Tennessee into northern Mississippi back in the 1800's. The last known victim is buried here, along with other interesting folks. After a peaceful drive in the country, you'll (hopefully) find this old cemetery in the Long Branch community. If the gate is open, drive on in. If not, just park & it's a short walk. The cemetery is still active, & it's on a public road. The gate was put up to help stop vandals, not the interested public.

This one will take some work:

1st - You'll need to do some research. A library or Web
search will tell you WHOM to look for.

2nd - You'll need to do some legwork. The coordinates
will get you into the cemetery, but you will then have
to find Betsy's Grave.

3rd - You'll need to do some more legwork & a little
brainwork to find your final coordinates.

To the east of Betsy lies a little one who's dates are the
same, MMW is short for her name.

Day is (N34° 05.0--')

Last 2 of the year are (W89° 46.5--')

Finally - If you did it right, you'll find an ammo can
with goodies, & on the way another strange treat.

Be Respectful. Be resourceful. Good hunting & Enjoy.
