Story by Cheyenne Alexis
A 6-foot, black marble monument was installed at Bellevue Cemetery to commemorate 38 Union Civil War veterans.
Allen Holley, the leader of the Bellevue Cemetery Committee for 10 years, wanted the cemetery to honor the fallen veterans.
The names of the veterans were researched by Dean Podoll using Sarpy County historical records.
After years of proposing the idea, it was finalized and installed in May 2020.
