PENNSYLVANIA CEMETERY

This cemetery was named because many of the families whose members are buried there were Pennsylvania Dutch, who had immigrated to Nebraska. Most references I've found call it the Pennsylvania Cemetery, including the plat and most obituaries. However, the deed mentions the "New Pennsylvania Cemetery Association" and I have found two obituaries (1907 for Cluxton and 1928 for Moyer) which refer to it as the Breckenridge Cemetery. There was a Breckenridge family in that part of the county, but they are buried in the Forest City Cemetery and the plat shows no Breckenridge as a lot owner.
