Olive Branch Cemetery






The Olive Branch Cemetery (also known as the Mills Cemetery) is located 1 mile west of Mills, NE or from Springview, 5 miles north on Highway 183, 14 miles east on Highway 12, 2 miles north and 1 1/2 miles east on county road.

The Olive Branch is maintained by the Olive Branch Cemetery Association. No one seems to be sure who owns the original burial records. Several graves were originally located at a cemetery northwest of this cemetery but were later moved to the Olive Branch Cemetery. Legend has it that a local citizen who was murdered, John Newell, was previously buried in the other cemetery and moved to Olive Branch. If this is so, there is no headstone to commemorate the burial. The earlist burial on record is for Pheby Storp in 1894.

The cemetery was transcribed on October 9, 2007.
