The new information Kiosk at the O'Neill Cemetery resides in the southeast section in the gazebo. The O'Neill Cemetery has gone high-tech with the addition of an electronic information kiosk which will help in the location of grave sites in the O'Neill Cemetery.
The O'Neill Cemetery Board budgeted for the item and the kiosk became a reality right before the Memorial Day holiday this year.
Presently the kiosk holds the records for the south cemeteries as these were the easiest to get loaded into the system.
Cemetery Board President Terry Miles said that the cemeteries to the north will come later as the information is much harder to deciminate from the older bookkeeping going back to the turn of the 20th century. The system was bought from Windy Prairie Systems Inc. of Indianola.
The interface is a touch screen and you may search by last name or first name. The system is very friendly and will prompt you with a voice to help you complete your search. The search will show you where you are in realtion to where the grave is and will show you a square or section in which the grave is located.
