This site on the East side of Palo Duro Creek was designated by the County as it's first burial plot.  Mrs. Alfie P. McGee, wife of Hansford County's first sheriff, died January 7, 1890, and marks the first grave.  In 1891, a tornado destroyed the courthouse, then under construction, killing two workmen---Pete Winsell and a Mr. Williamson from Kansas City, Missouri.  These were the next two people to be buried in this new cemetery.  Settlers before the year 1900 buried here are:  J.H. Cator, B.O. Cator, Les Cator, J.H. Wright, M.B. Wright, and B.P. Ward  This was the only official cemetery in the County until 1928.  This information was obtained from people who were living around the neighborhood at that time.  This information was recently found at the Stationmaster's House Museum.
