By: Gotta Run
1. Here is the puzzle.
This cache will take you to two cemeteries that are located adjacent to one another. The cemetery to the north is Old Sacred Heart cemetery. Behind Old Sacred Heart is Shawano County Cemetery.
Reference point 1 will take you to a marker in Shawano County cemetery for Theodore Schmidt. Let the year of his DEATH = ABCD.
Reference point 2 will take you to a marker for James Honich. Let the year of his BIRTH = WXYZ.
The cache is located at:
N 44 4Y.(Y+Z)(W+Y)(Y)
W 88 3C.(D-6)(C-1)(B)
(The parentheses just separate the digits; you do not need to multiply anything.)
About the WSQ-SCC Series
WSQ stands for "Wisconsin Spirit Quest, which is used by many Wisconsin cemetery cache owners. SCC stands for Shawano County Cemeteries, and the number between the two represents the location of the cemetery on a master map, which you can find by clicking HERE. The name after SCC is the name of the Township, then comes the name of the cemetery.
2. Locate the necessary Birth & Death records.
Here is a link for the Find A Grave cemetery search:
Find A Grave - cemetery searchYou will find: Theodore Schmidt ( 1882-1958)
Let the year of his DEATH = ABCD.
ABCD = 1958
Since you will not find a listing for James Honich in either cemetery, you will need to use another resource to locate his information. Go to Google and do a search for "James Honich Obituary". One of the listing will be a Rootsweb.Ancestry.com link that will take you to a list of interments at the old Sacred Heart Cemetery. Scroll down to James Honich's listing.
Here is the Rootsweb.Ancestry.com link you need:
Rootsweb.Ancestry.com - James Honich (1863-1893)Let the year of his BIRTH = WXYZ.
WXYZ = 1863
3. Put together the solved coordinates.
N 44 4Y.(Y+Z)(W+Y)(Y)ABCD = 1958
W 88 3C.(D-6)(C-1)(B)
WXYZ = 1863
N 44 46.(6 + 3) (1 + 6) (6)
W 88 35.(8 - 6) (5 - 1) (9)
