Geocache Description:

-2017-

Thank you to Po' Boy who placed the original cache and the person who put this multi cache together.
It is a good puzzle and very well thought out. I am honored to keep this cache going. I adopted this cache 2/2017 and hope you will enjoy it.

You will visit two locations to get the last 5 digits of the latitude and longitude for the actual cache. The cache is a large tube container that you may need a step of some kind to reach, but maybe not, if you are tall.

The Bridge Street Cemetary holds the history of Northampton and the surronding area on its hallowed grounds. Here you will find the founders of Northampton, veterans of the Cival War and John Clarke the founder of the Clarke School for the Deaf. As you pass along the paths you will see many familier family names from the area like Stebbins, Hubbard, Forbes, Dickinson and many others. You can park down town if you like and hike the 3/4 mile to the cemetary then reward yourself with some sushi or Thai or Mexican or Starbucks after your successful adventure.

The entrance is on Parsons Street

To get the last 5 digits for the latitude go to 42 19.490 / 072 37.567 and answer the following questions:

1. What are the first two digits in the year the marker was placed?
2. What are the last two digits of the year of Mary Baker's Birth?
3. In the column where you found the information for Mary Baker, how many womens' names start with the letter "M"?

To get the longitude of the actual cache go to 42 19.528 / 072.37.610 and answer the following questions:

1. What are the last two digits of the year in which Jonas and Martha's children died?
2. How many children did Caleb and Sarah have?
3. What month was Frankie born?
4. What month did Frankie die?
