The cemetery name is adopted from a nearby stream along which Native Americans once
camped. George F. Lee donated the original land in 1866, with the first burial on September
10. Twenty-eight graves from family plots were reinterred here in 1868.
The cemetery expanded in 1884, 1912, and 1990. The chapel, constructed in 1916-17,
commemorates the cemetery's fiftieth anniversary. One notable grave is that of Barbara
Kagey Mayhew Bradway, associated with the Underground Railroad in southeastern
Nebraska before the Civil War.
