ARBORVILLE, Neb. (AP) — The director of the York County Historical Society wants county commissioners to declare the tiny Zion Cemetery abandoned so it can be cleared of thick weeds, grass and debris.

The two-acre cemetery is located on farm ground in the township of Arborville and is inaccessible by vehicle.

The historical society’s director, Nancy Beach, wants commissioners to declare the cemetery as fully abandoned so work can be done at the site. She says she’ll work to gather the signatures of 35 county residents who support the abandonment of the cemetery as required by state law.

She says that the county surveyor has agreed to re-survey the property. Once that’s done, she says she’ll present documentation to commissioners so they can take action.
