Norfolk State Hospital Burial List

Posted on by

Norfolk State Hospital Burial List

This list may or may not be complete for all the burials located in the 2 cemeteries that are on the grounds of what today is call Norfolk Regional Center.

The original explanation and the link can be found at
Norfolk Regional Center {State Hospital} cemetery burials http://negenweb.net/NEMadison/Norfolk_State_Hospital.pdf

There are only 3 or 4 markers in the “Old cemetery”                                                          and less than 12 markers in the New cemetery.

Note that it is unknown if the section and lot numbers might be a reference to the old design map or the revised drawing of the new map.  Burials were left and may have been renumbered so the section and lot numbers are very much in question.

The cemetery grounds is one very large piece of land with no driveways, sidewalks or other indications of where each section is located.  The numbering system sequence for the sections and lots are unknown.
