Geocache Description:

Small tupperware in camo tape

An historical site in the middle of Mountain Home. Cache contains a logbook, and some small trade items. Proper respect is needed in this cemetery surrounded by a neighborhood.

Simeon or "Rapp" as he was known, was brought to what is now Baxter County in 1812 when he was 12 years old, by his father Frederick Talburt Sr. They settled in the North Fork area in Baxter County. His father and some of the children operated the Talburt’s ferry on the White River in that area for many years.

Simeon only lived to age 50. He and several members of his family are buried in the small Casey-Talburt Cemetery located in Indian Creek Subdivision of Mountain Home. He was probably the first person to own land in what is now known as Mountain Home. At the time he lived here, the area was known as Rapp’s Barrens. Simeon was known to have been nicknamed "Rapp" and most area historians believe the area was named for Simeon Talburt.
