In our last issue we spoke of an
appearance of a grave on the hill near
the Episcopal church. Thursday the
body was exhumed by the marshal,
Drs. Livingston. Schildnicht, McCook

could not exactly agree whether they
were the bones of a man or woman.
Old settlers know of a woman buried
in ISoO and a man in 1854. The fol
lowing letter gives, we think, a re
liable account of the affair:
Greenwood. Neb,
Editor Herald: Sir I see by the
Herald of the 21st that as a team was
passing up the hill near E. B. Lewis'
the wheels broke through the ground
and a coffin was discovered. I know
that there is a grave somewhere near
that place. I was living on the east
bank of the Missouri river in the
years 1S50-1S51. In 1850 all or near
ly all the emigration passed up the
east side of the Platte river and a
large number of them crossed the Mis
souri river at your place. In fact, all
the Mormons crossed there. Now
this grave of which I speak was made
in 1850; a lady died of cholera and
was buried there. My idea of it al
ways has been that it was just in
front of the place where Dr. Donelan
lives, but I may be that much mis
taken. I expect that I am the only
one in the county that knows anything
about it unless it may be that James
O'Neill remembers it. The lady was
going to California or Salt Lake, I
have forgotten which.
