Geocache Description:


This cache is placed near Tonto's final resting site. The real name of the original Tonto on the radio series was Fred McCarthy (screen name John Todd), and he is buried at this cemetary. When you pull into the cemetary, if you turn onto the first road, look to the south for the crooked stone that says "McCarthy". That is the family plot, and Fred's name is on the bottom along with his siblings. His mother and father are also buried at the family plot. This information has been verified with Fr. Thad of St. Phillip's church, who oversees this cemetary. You can see related information that verifies this at (visit link)

The house Fred McCarthy owned and stayed in when in this area is in Crossingville, across the street from St. Phillip's church on Route 98. It is a small, unassuming two story farmhouse with a large barn. To make this house even more interesting, it was also owned at one time by Conrad Hilton, great uncle to Paris Hilton...yes, THE Paris Hilton. As a matter of fact, Conrad Hilton donated to St. Phillip's the large wooden cross that hangs inside the church today. Again, all this information can be verified by the current pastor of St. Phillips, Fr. Thad.

The cache itself was hidden by our nine year old daughter, Rylie. She found the hiding spot, so she gets the credit. Please be very respectful of this well-kept cemetary and cache only from dawn to dusk.
