This is a wonderful box for kids...mainly because my daughter placed this box...she is almost 5 years old...also good to take a stroller...This box is dedicated to my husband. This is our first box since he has been deployed to Iraq. My husband has since returned to us and to our pasttime of letterboxing. Enjoy!


To start on this adventure, let's at least get close to where we are heading...go I 40 then at exit 150 which is Hwy 115. Continue South on Hwy 115 into town. You will see a CVS Pharmacy on the right...turn right here (there is a light...this is Water Street). You will then bear right on Light Street. You will see a Farm and Garden Store and a big red building...this is where you need to park...this is where our adventure begins.

There will be a stone wall across from the red building with an opening, we will enter here. Just take a look around at all the wonderful history. This cemetery is dated from around 1755 to 1930. Do you see the many wonderful trees...this is also where the kids start their leaf collections for school. Once inside the cemetery, look for the tree with 6 trunks. Take another look around...so many infants...so many soldiers. Now look for the 6 brick graves. Again...infants...I have been told the flu took the lives of so many, so very young. Now head West, go through the two crosses (look very hard and low) until you run into a tree...actually into it. Turn left as you hit the opposite rock wall from where you started. Look right under the bushes and you shall find the treasure you seek...Gone but not forgotten lies Claudius M. Summers, soldier. Died at Wilmington, NC 18 years 9 months and 1 day...Please now say a little prayer for all our soldiers, past and present, for they give us the lives we have today!
