    My new cache WSQ Bethel Cemetery GC2G6J0 had an interesting log today. There is a sign in the cemetery marking the site of the Welsh Presbyterian Church that once also stood here that I used to create the puzzle. Here is the log:

    October 6 by The Fugawi (235 found)

    This cache is of particular interest to me as many of my ancestors are interred in this cemetery, among which is John Commodore Lewis, my great great uncle, who was, and perhaps still is, the smallest man on record. At the time of his death at the age of 24 in 1881, he was 27 inches tall and weighed 19 pounds. It’s my understanding that he was a lay preacher and though diminuitive in stature, he shook the foundation of the Welsh Presbyterian Church when he took the pulpit. TNSL TFTC!

    I try to choose only interesting and historic cemeteries and I guess I hit it on the mark here.
