The Yankee Hill Cemetery Association has
provided the following list of burials & information. Yankee Hill
Cemetery is one of the oldest, if not the oldest cemetery in the Lincoln,
Nebraska area. It is located at 1100 West Pioneers Blvd. It is non-profit,
governed by an association board consisting of nine unpaid members. It is
a beautiful county cemetery, most of which has never been tilled and wild
flowers bloom abundantly. It is a cemetery that still has room for a lot
more burials and is one of the few locally that still allows upright
tombstones.
As with most older cemeteries,
there were periods of time when record keeping was at a minimum and there
was also a fire which charred some of the record book. The cemetery board
is trying to complete the records by reviewing mortuary records and
obituaries from local papers. In some cases there are differences between
obituary information, the original burial book information and headstone
information. Being on this list in no way guarantees that person is buried
in Yankee Hill Cemetery or in that spot. It is merely a reprint of the
information that we have, accurate or inaccurate as it may be. When there
is a headstone, the location on the list is that of the headstone, not
necessarily where that person is buried.
