Warmer Cemetery records. The cemetery was established in 1879 by Irish families from Massachusetts in Western, Nebraska. The earliest burial dates back to 1871. The 2.47 acre cemetery records were passed down to Charles Harris who was the son of a Waymire daughter in 1950. Harris had married the cousin of Tom Murphy's father. When Harris died, the records were passed down to Murphy's cousin Lillian Harris who died in 1959. Murphy's father was given the records. He would mow the burial plots of his grandparents. The records remained with him until his death in 1980 when they would be put in Murphy's mother's basement until 1998 with her death. There are no records of who is buried in the cemetery, but there are records of who bought the plots.

Wead: Negro Feels Girl's Life Worth More than a Loaf of Bread
This newspaper clipping shows the layout of the neighborhood where Patrolman James Loder shot and killed fourteen year old Vivian Strong. The shooting took place on June 24, 1969 in North Omaha. The officers were responding a reported break in at a housing project when a group of young people scattered and ran. Strong was shot at the base of the skull as she fled. The group of young people had been listening to records in the alley and had come to see why the police were in the area. The officer did not shout any warnings and only one shot was fired. The slaying sparked public outcry, as well as vandalism and looting in the area. For interviews and oral histories of this and other items please visit the History Harvest YouTube Channel.
