2.  Solve the puzzle.

Use Find A Grave to locate the cemetery and find the grave markers.

Find A Grave - Graceland Cemetery

Search Graceland Cemetery for the surname Luebke, and look for the following names:

Frank (1863 - 1940)

Anna (1865 - 1929)

Walter (1900 - 1950)

Hazel (1893 - 1984)

Edward (1890 - 1967)

Lucile (1900 - 1935)

Use Ancestry.com to locate information for Anita.

Anita - Ancestry.com - 1920 Federal Census

Anita (1897 - 1979) - Ancestry.com - Social Security Death Index

Find the older dentist's death year - 19A7.

The dentists were Walter (50 yrs) and Edward (77 yrs).  Therefore,

A = 6


Find Frank's birthyear - 186B.

B = 3


Find the difference between the older dentist and his wife's birth years = C.

Hazel (1893) was Edward's (1890) wife.  Therefore,

C = 3


Find Anna's birth year - 1D65.

Anna's birth year was 1865.  Therefore,

D = 8


Find the younger dentist's wife's death year - 193E.

Lucile (1900 - 1935) was Walter's wife.  Therefore,

E = 5


Find Anita's (1897 - 1979) birth year - 18F7.  Therefore,

F = 9


Find Walter's death day - 2G.

Walter died December 29, 1950.  Therefore,

G = 9


Find Hazel's birthday - H1.

Hazel was born January 31, 1893.  Therefore,

H = 3



3.  Put together the Solved Coordinates.

Puzzle Coordinates:  44° 3A.BCD and for 088° 4E.FGH

A = 6
B = 3
C = 3
D = 8
E = 5
F = 9
G = 9
H = 3

Solved Coordinates:

   N 44° 36.338, W 088° 45.993   

4.  Verify the Solved Coordinates.

Since there isn't a geochecker, use Google Maps to determine whether the solved coordinates seem reasonable.

Google Maps - solved coordinates

The solved coordinates are located on the lawn area of the cemetery; however, they are very close to an isolated tree or bush.  If D is increased by one digit, the coordinates will be directly on this solitary beacon.

Adjusted Final Coordinates:     N 44 36.339, W 88 45.993
