About

The Springwell Danish Cemetery was established on a 10-acre (40,000 m2) tract of land northwest outside of Omaha.[1] Visitors would travel through Benson to the end of the streetcar line, and then walk to the cemetery.[1]

The oldest grave in the cemetery belongs to Lars Jocumsen, and is marked by an obelisk that dates from 1868.[1] Jocumsen was a farmer in the area.[1] Among the notable Omaha Danes buried at Springwell Cemetery is Col. Sophus Neble.[1]
