Potter Brown Cemetery is a small burial ground in the south of Garfield County. The double name suggests two families sharing one plot, which was common practice on the Loup country homesteads.
It sits close to the Valley County line, less than three miles from the Fort Hartsuff post cemetery. Find a Grave files it under Burwell in Garfield County; anyone working from county records should be aware the line runs nearby.
Find a Grave holds 10 memorials for it, which is a record of what has been photographed and indexed rather than a count of everyone buried there. For burial records or plot enquiries, contact the City of Burwell, or the Garfield County Clerk in Burwell. Ownership can also be confirmed through the Nebraska Statewide Cemetery Registry at the State Historical Society.
