Cozad Cemetery

Independence Township, Section 29
Highway S70 to 480th St. West on 480th St. to 120th Ave. North on 120th Ave. to 474th St. West on 474th St. to 113th Ave. (street numbers are not in order, coming from 120th you will see 112th before 113th). North on 113th Ave., it curves around and turns into 115th Ave. Follow 115th to the cemetery, on the west side of the road.

Unfortunately the cemetery has been the target of vandals in recent years and more stones have been knocked over and/or damaged.
