Bellevue Cemetery is one of the oldest in the State of Nebraska. The last of the full-blooded chiefs of the Omaha tribe, Ong-pa-tong-ga, "Big Elk," is buried in this cemetery. I've added new pictures of his grave and other locations in the cemetery. Bellevue was active as early as 1833, which makes it one of the first settlements in Nebraska.
