I can help with cemeteries in Polk county, Nebraska. Many are photographed and online on Findagrave.com.
So far I have done:
Osceola
Stromsburg
Swede Home
Swede Plain
St. Andrews #2
Hoffer

Am currently working on Graceland (Shelby), and I have a directory for this cemetery.
St. Andrews #1 cemetery is fairly inaccessible as it's in the middle of a field and I didn't want to get charged by the cows near it.

Let me know if you need help with a cemetery in this area.

Hello. I am searching for a Wilber L.C. Haskins, husband of Virginia P. Peterson Haskins, who is buried in Block 5, probably lot 110 or close (according to Find a Grave). He died in February 1988. His sister, Barbara E. Haskins Shockey is also buried in this cemetery (in Block 1). Since both his sister and wife are here, I feel strongly that he is here too, but I haven't found any records. I tried calling the county office to see who to contact for this but no one ever responded to me. I would really appreciate any info you have. Thank you for your time.

Virginia is buried with the Peterson family. There is no stone there for Wilber Haskins.
I believe the city office in Shelby would have the records so that would be who to call if you like. However I have walked this entire cemetery, so I doubt he is there. Unless he has an unnmarked grave. I'll see if I can find him.

Thank you so much for getting back to me. This FAG memorial is new, which is why I hadn't seen it. Thank you also for taking the time to walk the cemetery. I've done a few myself, so I appreciate your efforts.

Best.

I did try to contact someone in the city of Shelby. I left two voicemail messages, but no one ever called me back.
