Geocache Description:






The "SQ" in the name of the Geocache is to
designate this as a "Spirit Quest" cache.


The series was started in NorthWest Ohio and It has since expanded across the United States and into Canada as
well and is designed to differentiate the listing to have more meaning and give time to pause, and reflect on things.


Please be respectful of the area and take time to reflect back on the
lives of those that have gone-before us...
and their contributions to life and society as we know it today.


Thank You.






Welcome to the Kimball/Fox Family Cemetery

This cache IS available 24h/7d and is accessible from the PUBLIC roadside.



This cemetery is one of many extremely small cemeteries across the region with headstones dating back to the early settler days before the names Leamington (which was incorporated in 1876) or Wheatley (which was incorporated May 1, 1914) ever came to be here.


Robert Fox headstone


There are headstones here from the earliest burials of folks in the community such as Robert Fox, who lived from 1812 to 1842 and passed at the young age of 30, and whose headstone is broken by a tree that has grown at his gravesite, to the most "recent" of Benjamin QUICK who lived from 1818-1876 and passed at the age of 58 years, 6 months, and 3 days.


Benjamin Quick headstone

This one is Maintained by Municipality of Leamington and is no longer in use as an active burial ground, however some of the names that you may see here have descendents that are prominent to the community to this day.

Take a moment and enjoy the architecture of the headstones that are here and remember that there is a great amount of history that many folks pass-by every day.  All you need to do sometimes is stop and take note, even for just a moment.

If you have any further information on this cemetery, please let me know and i will add it to the information on this page.

**PLEASE NOTE**
This cache is near the road.  Please do not allow any "little cachers"
near the road while you hunt for this cache.
