Geocache Description:

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

 This cache will take you initially to Sixteen Cemetery in Dekalb County, and then to another nearby location.  The name was derived from being located in Section 16, of Richland Township. It has also been known at times by the nearby Church, which has changed a few times throughout the years. The posted coords are for the parking area. There won't be any need to cross any perimeter fence & nothing need be disturbed.

    You will need to locate the two men pictured above.  This cache is in their honor. They were brothers, and both perished during the Civil War. They are buried side by side, alongside other family members.
    From records: (Battle of Missionary Ridge 23-25 Nov. 1863)
  Veteran #1 Co. A 100 th  Indiana. Badly wounded at the battle of Missionary Ridge. Died in Auburn, Indiana, January 1, 1864.
   Veteran #2  Co. F 129 th  Indiana. Died in 1865. Both are buried in the Sixteen Cemetery in Corunna, Indiana.
    Once you have located these men, you will need to obtain their names to find the location of the places that have information to take you to the final cache location.
     Count the number of letters in the last name and substitute for (x). Take the longest first name and substitute for (y). Take the shortest first name and substitute for (z). Fill in the two sets of coordinates below. At each site you must find ½ the coordinates needed for the final site where the decon container is located.  There are "no containers" at the first two. Coordinates are stashed on "suitable media".

    Good luck, and enjoy the hunt.  Please be respectful, and slow down a bit and take time to enjoy these areas.
