Potter's Field and the Final Resting Spot of Will Brown.

Potter's Field was purchased by the City of Omaha in 1887 and it served as the final resting spot for many.  As of 1957 the city paid for burial plots in local cemeteries.  Will Brown, who was lynched in 1919 is buried here.   Over half buried here were infants with over 3000 total in the 70 years buried.



This memorial lists all those buried here.


Will Brown gravesite is to the south of the flag pole on the hlll.
