In rural Barton County from NE 190th Rd, at Beaver, go north 1 mile on NE 60th Ave to NE 200th Rd intersection, in field on northeast corner of intersection.

The town of Beaver had it's first settler in 1876, so the cemetery most likely was established sometime thereafter. Judging from the name it might be the local Catholic cemetery, but I do no know who owns and maintains it. It is still used for burials.

The first burial appears to be Elizabeth Meyers in 1922, judging from the list.

This includes all existing and legible stone and marker readings which I obtained when I visited this cemetery on Aug 25, 2006, using my digital camera. If anyone feels I have made an error, feel free to contact me.
