St. Matthews Lutheran Cemetery, Gosper County, Nebraska


St. Matthews Lutheran Church was located northwest of Arapahoe (Furnas County) and was just barely across the county line in Gosper County.  Many, if not most, of its members actually lived and died in Furnas County.  The church building is gone, but the well maintained cemetery remains.  Cemetery Index
