About
The Springwell Danish Cemetery was established on a 10-acre (40,000 m2) tract of land northwest outside of Omaha. Visitors would travel through Benson to the end of the streetcar line, and then walk to the cemetery.
The oldest grave in the cemetery belongs to Lars Jocumensen, and is marked by an obelisk that dates from 1868. Jocumensen was a farmer in the area. Among the notable Omaha Danes buried at Springwell Cemetery is Col. Sophus Neble.
