Wyuka Cemetery

Wow what a peaceful and clean cemetery. And wow some real cool mausoleums. The place is very clean and well kept. I have no clue how many graves they have but if you walked it, it would take days to see everything there. My personal favorite was the lady standing over the grave she looks real.

This cemetery is an historic Nebraska landmark. If you have ever driven on Nebraska Hwy 2 near Nebraska City there is a sign with the name J Sterling Morton Beltway. At this cemetery you can see his grave: it's very impressive. Beyond that, we visited this site looking for several of my wife's ancestors' graves. Neither the staff or on site kiosk make it easy if you're not a Morton relative. We were directed by one grounds crew member to what turned out to be the wrong area. The kiosk with computer assist didn't make it any clearer. So here's what we did to eventually locate two separate grave sites: 1. Go to Find A Grave to verify you're in the right grave yard. We were; 2. In the Find A Grave record approximately 3/4's of the way down on the page you will find a numerical entry with the pattern ##-###-##. This information was all we needed but with one caveat. We were directed to section 04; there isn't one of those but there is a section #4. After that it was more or less 'by gues

Peaceful. Awesome and Unique headstones.
