WILLOW CREEK CEMETERY - located in Chester Township in the SE 1/4 SE 1/4 of Sec 23 Township 16, Range 5E. It is a difficult cemetery to record because the markers are in plots and not in rows, thus the drawing to designate where we found the markers. It is perhaps mowed once a year, the weeds had not overtaken the place at our date.
Recorded on 25 April 1977 by Clarabelle Mares 1722 E 19 Fremont, Nebr. Assisted by Kathrine Petersen.
Plots are noted by numbers
