Saunders County Rural Cemetery
Ceresco, Saunders County, Nebraska, USA
"This Unnamed Cemetery is located in the Northwest Quarter of Section 20, Township 13 N, Range 7 E, Richland Township, Saunders County, Nebraska. This is two miles north and 1 mile west of Ceresco, Nebraska, using Highway 77 (County Road 18) as your marker line. It is just east of the old Shakespeare School (abandoned) and has not a single marker. There are depressions showing where bodies have been removed and moved to other cemeteries.
This was checked on May 12, 1979 with Wesley Burklund of Ceresco, Nebraska. Mr Burklund reported to me that there is a black person buried in the cemetery, and a visit with Mrs. Dorothy (Nelson) Jurgens (1910-2009), per the telephone, reported her grandmother's mother was buried there. She was a Mrs. Andrus (nee Pelton)."
Dorothy Nelson was the daughter of Earl Derly Nelson and Dora Mable Peterson. Earl Nelson's parents were Richard Ira Nelson and Mary Elmina Andrus. Mary's mother was Zerviah Pelton who married Russel Andrus. Russel Andrus died in Sterling, Macomb, Michigan in 1850, and Zerviah moved to Ceresco, Nebraska, with several of her Andrus children, including Mary Elimina, Horace, Dayton, Phineas, and others. Zerviah Pelton Andrus died in Ceresco in 1879.
