Bethlehem North Cemetery cache had these nice iron entry fences that I always enjoy seeing.
I always make sure to walk around and check out the old headstones. This one was for a Civil War veteran...
World War 1 veteran....
And this one for a Spanish American War soldier....
The cache was quite a hike thru the woods but dad and I found it with no problem....
The Eddyville Ferry cache was hidden at the former site of the Eddyville Ferry. ...
The Lady Cemetery cache was named for the Lady family. The really interesting thing about this cemetery was the graves for the family slaves, along with a marker....
The cache was an easy find....
The graves of the slaves were all tucked away a little further down the hill, in a circle, with a marker commemorating the slaves....
I think it's nice that you have this fun with your folks - neat old tombstones- I like old cemeteries too.
ReplyDeleteSome people think it's creepy but I really like them. So much history there.
DeleteOld cemeteries are always so interesting!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. SO much history there.
DeleteOh wow that is touching. Known to God got me.
ReplyDeleteI liked that too.
DeleteWow, I guess geocaching can take you pretty much anywhere! I get a little spooked walking around really old cemetaries but they are interesting. I like that Known to God....a great gravestone!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a cool stone too.
DeleteSo many stories ... so few words.
ReplyDeleteGlad the weather's warming up so y'all can resume your fun!
Oh yes, the geocaching has definitely stepped up.
DeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time in Kentucky and the weather was nice!
There are so many beautiful head stones!
Hugs, Kimberley
Yes, the weather was beautiful. Slightly warmer than Chicago. :-)
DeleteI love to explore old cemeteries and imagine what the stories those who buried there could tell.
