We visit Omaha's historic Prospect Hill Cemetery at 3202 Parker Street to hear some of the many stories it holds. For this one, we learn about Omaha's Madame Anna Wilson and her partner Dan Allen resting in one of Prospect Hill's more prominent graves.

Special thanks to Shannon Justice, member of the Board of Trustees for Prospect Hill Cemetery, for showing around the cemetery and sharing some of its storied history.
