Omaha’s first settlers arrived in 1854 and the town grew quickly.  Following authorization of cemeteries by the Territorial Legislature in 1858, Prospect Hill Cemetery officially began with Burial Permit #1, that of Alonzo F. Salisbury, Omaha pioneer and member of the Legislative Council in the Third Session.  Since then there have been approximately 15,000 burials recorded here, including those of many Omaha pioneers––Deuel, Gaylord, Hall, Hanscom, Hitchcock, Kennard, Kountze, Krug, Lake, Lowe, McCague, Metz, Millard, Poppleton, Redick, Reed, Shinn, and Anna Wilson and her good friend Dan Allen––Omaha developers, religious leaders, mayors, judges, and benefactors, for whom Omaha streets, parks and schools were named.
