[edit] Neb. high court to decide if burial records public

"The Nebraska Supreme Court will determine whether people buried in a former psychiatric hospital cemetery took their right to privacy to the grave with them.

The Adams County Historical Society wants names of the 957 people buried in the Hastings Regional Center cemetery between 1909 and 1957 made public.

The state has maintained that the federal medical privacy law prohibits the release of the names."
