Wyuka Cemetery

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 guess or by golly.' 3. To avoid some guessing after you've determined the correct section pick a random grave, enter it in Find A Grave and compare it to the site you're looking for. Using this method you will quickly figure out where you need to be. NB: I am sure there is an easier method or a helpful database and/or worker who will direct you to the site you want. Failing that, the method described above works as long as you have cellular service.

Their website cemetery tab has grave search tool for both Wyuka & Fairview, it is kept updated. Plus the website has overall & section maps. Very easy with a little research to find graves & way around the curvy brick roads.
