Per the Sherman County, Nebraska "Tombstone Inscription" by the Loup Valley D.A.R., 1954-1956, "This burial plat has never been deeded as such, although a check of the abstract of the present owner shows one acre (location not specified) to have been withheld for cemetery use in the deed given by the first owner. Neighbor John Minshull says stones here are children of Henry Lewis, who is buried at Litchfield. Mrs. H.E. Plantz remembers there having been many graves there. Only one stone remains."
In Jun 2013, an elderly Litchfield native and his daughter showed us to the location of this burial ground. It is up a steep incline at the top of a hill, the highest elevation in the area. It is fenced in, although much of the barbed wire is down and it was obvious that cattle frequented the area. The gentleman also recalled there having been many graves, perhaps as many as 20-30. No evidence of other stones was found in the high grass.
