Resting in Peace #1---
Total of 2 boxes
Exeter Cemetery, Lebanon
Rated Easy
Although this is primarily a 19th century cemetery, there are several very old stones dating back to the 1720's. They are found at the rear of the cemetery. Carvers include John Huntington, the Bozrah Devil, Collins, Bartlett, Upswept-Wing Carver, Haskins and John Johnson. The transition from the 18th century to the urn and willow design can be studied here.
Directions: The Lebanon Town Hall is at the junction of Routes 87 and 207. Proceed west on Route 207 for 3.3 miles. The graveyard is on the left just before Route 16. There is plenty of room to park.
#1 May you Rest in Peace
If the iron gate doesn't open easily, climb over the wall and begin walking down the left side of the cemetery with the poison ivy and broken barb wire fence close by. The hidden box you are looking for is on top of the back edge of the wall resting against the clump of trees on the other side of the wall, covered by a flat rock. It's in line with one of the large trees in the center of the cemetery and also in line with the gravestone of Samuel Bentley, Conn. Vol. 2nd. Reg., which is 15 paces (left foot only) from the wall. PLease stamp and re-hide well.
#2 Our Furry Friends Are Close By
On the left side of the cemetery, continue walking past box #1. You will be about two thirds of the way down the cemetery. About 5 feet from the wall(watch for poison Ivy and high weeds) is the tipped over gravestone of Mary E. Carpenter, on a very slight downward slope. Hopefully Mary Carpenter will protect my box from view. Please stamp in and re-hide well.
Thank you.
