HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) _ The names of 957 people buried in a former psychiatric hospital cemetery in Hastings have been released to the Adams County Historical Society. The historical society's Catherine Renschler says she's been able to get answers to some families, but she's still going through all the information and developing a plan to release it to the public. The historical society fought in court for almost to years to obtain the names because it had received requests from people trying to find information about relatives who may be buried there. The state Supreme Court ordered the names released in May.
