The Glenrock Cemetery is an active cemetery which has existed here for over 130 years. The northwesternmost headstone in the cemetery is from the Good family which originally donated the land for the cemetery. The following is from the Glenrock Cemetery Association's brochure:
Glenrock Cemetery, Nemaha County Nebraska, came into being when Salathiel J. and Eulala (Eulila) Good (husband and wife) sold just over one acre of land to the Trustees of the Glenrock Burial Lots. This deed, dated February 3, 1874, stated the land was to be used “solely for the purpose of a burying ground, and no other.” Additionally, according to the deed, Mrs. Good gave up her “dower rights” to this land when deeded to the Trustees. Unlike many other early cemeteries in Nemaha County, Glenrock never associated with any other organization.
Records of the oldest section of the cemetery, the northern part, were lost in a fire years ago. Stones still mark many of the graves in this section. Stories handed down through the generations tell of Native American graves, as well as Gypsy graves from families who camped along Rock Creek to the east of the cemetery.
