This marker, which reads
DEO
1861 - VINDICE - 1865
is by the gravestone for William H. Ellis, a veteran of the army for the Confederate States of America.
This is the Southern Cross of Honor. It reads Deo Vindice meaning, God Vindicates. A researcher reports that it is rare to see a Southern Cross of Honor in Nebraska. He says he has never seen one before.
