Adult Clues
1. Go to the church sign. The Church of the Brethren, which is part of Linville Creek Cemetery, had settlers as early as 1775.

2. Then go up the two steps. When you’re up the steps look up at the church eye. Then go to the right until you reach the silver gate and stop at the gate. The church is on its ninth paid pastor.

3. Look to the right and you will see the first little tombstone. Then count 5 stones ahead. When you reach the end of the little stone, find the two big towers with a smaller tombstone in between. John Kline, who was murdered near the Tunker House, which is a designated National Historic Site, is buried in Linville Creek Cemetery.


4. Walk to the front small stone between the towers. It has K’hootes written on the front. Look back and find Southerly and stand in front of it. The church has been housed to four different churches because of fires and remodeling

5. Then look between the big towers and you will see a small bench, then walk towards the small bench.

6. Next when you’re at the bench, look to the three decorated black stones. Then find the lonely tower. Walk there. The name on the stone is G Rhodes.

7. Then go right towards the wall, one row near Hollsinger. Then take fifty steps towards the tree behind the wall. Look under the metal cover, and there it is.
