Geocaching
Geocaching is a popular outdoor recreation that can be compared to a treasure hunt. Participants try to locate a hidden container called a geocache using their smartphone or GPS receiver by following specific GPS coordinates to guide them. It’s fun for the entire family, and you never know what you may find! Can you find the Arnold Cemetery geocache?

About the Arnold Cemetery Website
Thank you for your interest in the Arnold Cemetery. This is an ongoing effort to gather information about the cemetery and the people buried there. Please be sure to check back often for updated information.
More Than Just A Name
This website is unique to most other cemetery websites because of its extensive directory. There are well over 2,700 people buried in the Arnold Cemetery, and we have dedicated a page on our website to each person. And as each person was special in their own way, so is their page. When families submit personal information for their loved ones (such as photos, obituaries, military service, letters, stories, etc.), the individuality of each person will shine. It is an ongoing effort! So please, share your memories with us and send anything you can think of to personalize your loved one’s page. A small donation is suggested to personalize a page, but is not required. The most important thing is to send the information! Donations are tax-deductible and will go toward monthly website expenses.
Digital photos, scanned documents, or typed stories may be submitted directly on our website. Be sure to let us know which page(s) they should be placed on. If you need assistance scanning photos or documents for use on the website, they may be sent to us and we will return them when completed.
