I live in this area, and in horse and buggy distances, they were not near each other. Especially not their burial sites. Nellie is a good 20-25 mins. drive from Mercy. Very interesting history, though.

Here's some real dad-talk now. Please, anyone visiting these cemeteries- be respectful and remember that these were real people and there are families with loved ones buried there. With that said, have fun checking them out and be careful. :)
