GEORGE ODVODY FARM located in the NE1/4 NW 1/4 of Section 28, Township 17 N, Range 6 E Morse Bluffs township, Saunders County, Nebraska. South of the farm home and on the hill to the east of the home was a family plot belonging to the BUCHHOLTZ family. At one time it was surrounded by cedar trees, however only a few left on the northwest corner of the plot remain. There is only one footstone in the plot with the initials:

J. B.

Mr. Odvody noted that in the field to the east of this pasture, which joins his farm there was a lady buried. The surname of RACEK. There is no marker for her. At one time there were iris plants on the plot, however, we not able to find any trace of flowers.

Mr Odvody noted that he had been told that the lady had been gored by a bull, causing her death.
