Chelsea Cemetery

Transcription by Mrs. Florence Nun and Mrs. Sharon Elznic (1986).  Permission to reproduce granted by Mrs. Sharon Elznic (21 Sept 2001 per telephone)  Note:  I have re-typed and added the maiden names of the women.  This information is derived from the comments listed on the transcription of the tombstones. (Sharlene K. Miller)

This transcription of the Chelsea Cemetery was graciously provided to me by Charles Folden.

This cemetery was originally known as Bethel Cemetery.  It was organized in 1871 with the purchase of one acre of ground from Salathael A and Sarah A Stanley for the sum of $25.00.  Then in 1884, the Bethel cemetery was reorganized and its name was changed to Chelsea Cemetery.  The trustees of the church signing the transaction were John M. Pierson, Rev. Charles Hubbartt, John Archer, James E. Brown, and John Bechtel.  From 1884 to the present [1986], the cemetery has been known as Chelsea and consists of 2.9 acres in which half has been used for burial purposes.

The Chelsea Cemetery is located in the North West corner of the North East quarter of Section 24, Range 2 West of the 6th [Principal] Meridian.  Or from  Geneva, NE 5 miles East, 2 miles South, and 1/2 mile East on the South side of the road.  Or from Milligan, NE 2 miles South and 5 - 1/2 miles West on the South side of the road.
