Wilma F. HAYES

Calvary Cemetery
Dawes County,
Nebraska

The following information has been supplied (May, 2007) by a Chadron, Nebraska, resident and is hereby gratefully acknowledged. Thanks.

This is some information I found while compiling a history of the Chadron Arts Center which is located in the old St. Patrick's Church building:

(from St. Patrick's Church History by Fr. Hugh Spanel)

"Fr. W.L.McNamara was appointed pastor 15 August 1899. He arranged to move Calvary Cemetary from north of the city to its present site. Our first burial records state that Hazel Hays who died 7 February 1891 and Wilma Hays who passed away 9 January 1897, were both moved to the new cemetery located on 10th and Maple in January 1901. Frs. Klucke, Gannon and Stratmann were assistants to Fr. McNamara."
