Hemingford Cemetery

The Hemingford Cemetery is located 1 mile east and ½ mile south of Hemingford, Nebraska.

The cemetery was established in 1885 or 1886 after a donation of land from a local pioneer, Frederick Uhrig.

The cemetery sits next to a field farmed locally in keeping with the agricultural history of the community.

Our cemetery is the burial site for 25 Civil War Veterans.

Albert Howland

The most unique individual of this honored group is Robert Ball (Anderson), an African American Union soldier who ran away from his life on a Kentucky plantation as a slave to fight for his freedom. Although Robert never enjoyed the freedom he fought for fully, he was accepted into the community and became a successful farmer. In 1910, he held the distinction of being the largest African American landowner in Nebraska.

The Village of Hemingford is proud to be the home of his final resting place.

5 Unusual New Year’s Resolutions

Resolutions are always cliche and rather tedious, so why not mix it up a bit? Here are our top 5 suggestions for alternative resolutions.

Get Your Photo Taken In Five Interesting Places

If you’ve got the travel bug and want to see a bit more of the world, why not make it a New Year’s resolution to visit five interesting places you’ve always wanted to see? Even better, make a visual record of the year by making sure you get a photo of yourself taken in each place.

Learn A Decent Party Trick

You know that party trick you’ve got, the one that always comes out after a couple of drinks? Think about it; is it really so impressive in the cold light of day? If the answer is no, it’s about time you learned a new trick; one that will really impress. Mastering a new skill – no matter how pointless – can increase your self-esteem, as well as earning you some serious social kudos next time you reveal it in public.

Make A New Friend A Month

Fact: friends are great for your health, and the more you have of them the better. So, why not make it a New Year’s resolution to start collecting them? Making friends with people with different personalities and interests from you can be particularly beneficial in helping you to broaden your horizons, explore different sides of your personality and find new ways to get the most out of life.

Try A New Food Each Week

Rather than cutting out foods from your diet as with so many New Year’s resolutions, opt to add more foods into your diet next year instead (bonus points if they’re green!). Try hitting the fruit and veg aisle first to sample some exotic fruit and vegetables you may have yet to try, such as dragon fruit, lychees, romanescu and plantain.

Do Something Nice For Others Every Day

Many of our resolutions (these included) are inwardly focused, concentrating on ways to become thinner, healthier, wealthier people. However, while there is nothing wrong with improving yourself, it’s worth remembering there’s a whole world out there too.Plan to do one nice thing a day for someone else; whether it’s something small like giving a compliment, or something potentially life-saving like donating blood or sponsoring a child in need.
