Flower Hill is also known as German Lutheran and Bennington Cemetery. It’s located on 144 Street between Fort Street and Ida Street, about 6900 blocks north of Dodge. The cemetery is on the east side of the road, a short way from the Zion Lutheran Church, which looks after the care and upkeep of the cemetery.
Flower
Hill was established in 1879.
According to the “Douglas County Cemeteries” book, there
are many old large family plots in the cemetery, and many of the
inscriptions are in German.
The records are also incomplete, but the cemetery itself
is in excellent condition. The front gate is especially impressive,
and it is a very well kept place. |
