The Presbyterian Mission was founded in 1853 by Rev. Wm. Hamilton, whose wife Julia Ann is buried here. This sits high along the banks of the Missouri River on the Omaha Indian Reservation, is abandoned and has been allowed to go back to nature. I find 6 stones, with names and dates for 9 people. If you look closely at the center of this photo one can see parts of three stones, as if they are hiding behind the trees. To get to this location, one must have someone give you a general idea where it is, and be prepared to hike some distance. Even then there are no indications where it is, one must make widening circles through the trees.
