FAMILY PLOT located on the intersection of roads. Located in the NW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 Section 6, Township 14 N, Range 5 E Newman township in Saunders County, Nebraska. This is on the Saunders - Butler county line. We found the two markers in a large clump of blooming lilacs. Both of the markers were broken from the original bases.
