Mount Auburn Cemetery is located on 186th and Q Street on the outskirts of Omaha. The older section (on the left in the picture) was established in the 1880’s, where the majority of the names on the gravestones are of German descent and in the German language. The burial records of this older section have been lost.

This is another of the pioneer cemeteries that are being encroached upon by housing developments and strip malls. As you can see, several backyard fences stop a few yards from the boundaries of the plots, and just 5 blocks away a shopping center is being planned. As if we don’t have enough shopping malls in town.
This is a well-kept cemetery, managed by a lot owners’ association and is non-profit. They still have plots available and new burials are common.
