Army Engineers while at work removing earth from the crest of Queen Hill south of Plattsmouth, Thurs day, revealed a burial place of the Omaha and Otoe Indians that one time, many years ago, established their villages and burial places along the river bluffs. The Indian mounds were re vealed when the bulldozers of the Engineers scraping off the earth discovered the graves that had been there for perhaps several hundred of years, long before the coming of the white man to the Missouri river in this part of the west. The discovery was made kby Lenem Adkins, in charge of the dirt removal and Leonard Brothers of the Engineers offi ce, the matter was at once re ported to Dr. G. H. Gilmore of Murray, noted authority on the Indian burial places. In past years Dr. Gilmore and workers from the University of Nebras ka have uncovered many of the ancient villages long buried be neath the soil. Dr. Gilmore hastening to the scene discovered that there was a large number of the skele tons on the scene of the uncov ering, the place being apparent ly a communial burying ground of some of the tribes of the early Indians. In discussing the form of bur ial Dr. Gilmore states that this is the same type of burial that was revealed at many places, was a common practice of the Algonquir Indians in the past. The bodies are exposed until the flesh is removed, then the bones are gathered and placed in a common burial spot, this type of burial is one in which the different bones are each de posited together, instead of the entire skeleton, legs, arms and various other bones are each placed in groups and deposited in the burial plots similar to that uncovered by the Engi neers. This type of burial was prac ticed hundreds of years ago Dr. Gilmore states, revealed by the research in the eastern states where the earlier tribes of In dians lived. Where the burial ground was revealed was surveyed by Col. Thomas Patterson in 1856 who reported in his notes that the place was a burial spot for the Indians.
