The 'old burial place of the Otoes', also known as 'Indian burial ground'.

Described as being nearly midway between Barneston and Plum Creek.

There were funeral trees (particularly oak trees) there as well, but they burned during the great prairie fire of the fall (autumn) of 1872.

Mentioned on page 99 of the book titled, "History of Gage County, Nebraska: A Narrative of the Past, with Special Emphasis Upon the Pioneer Period of the County's History, Its Social, Commercial, Educational, Religious, and Civic Development from the Early Days to the Present Time", by Hugh J. Dobbs, published in 1918.
