Waymire Cemetery Records

Waymire Cemetery Records

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.
