An article in a 1977 edition of the Tree Searcher, a publication of the Kansas Genealogical Society, reported that only four tombstones remained of a reported 21 burials in unfenced, unmarked cemetery south of Shady Bend.
The remaining tombstones are those of David F. Bloomheart, Rhodella Smith, Clarence Harrell and Amy Harrell.
Research and old obituaries have led us to other burials, however. Those are Clara (Gilmore) Bloomheart, three Cline children, Anna (Bloomheart) Hines, Emma Hines, and Clara (Bloomheart) Moore.
The remaining tombstones, like that of Amy Harrell, who died 28 July 1879 at the age of 38, are all beautiful examples of the carving of that period. All are still readable and in excellent shape considering that the cemetery is on the edge of a working wheat field.
These photos don't do justice to the stones; the sun was in the wrong place by the time we found the cemetery.
