Zahniser Cemetery (Old) Traditional Cache

This is a very old cemetery with great historical value. Please be respctful of the land and for those buried here. No night caching! This is a 35mm film can. Bring a pen to sign the log. Entrance to the cemetery is a farm lane. It turns to the right as soon as you come off the road. You will see the stones on the hill. It may be too muddy at times so you may wish to park on the road so you don't get stuck or cause ruts in the lane.

I came across this cemetery as I do a lot of them through research for another web site. We love the history of these old cemeteries. Buried here is Matthias Zahniser and his wife Mary. Matthias was the second settler in Mercer county the first in Lake Twp. He was a Revolutionary War soldier under George Washington. His descendents Charles Reed Zahniser and Kate M. Zahniser wrote their family history that you can read in the link below. They are buried at Bethany Cemetery not far from here.

On a side note, if you know anything about us McMartins its that we like to think of ourselves as a bit of pirates. We also have a Cache series called the 9 pieces of 8 and a cache called the black pearl. So we think it fitting to mention two others buried here Elizabeth Turner and David Jones.
