description: Located in a farm field on private property, 0.75 miles to the south and 0.3 miles east of the intersection of 60th and A roads. The actual cemetery stones do not exist any longer. All gravestones have been removed or have deteriorated. A marker and plaque commenorating the Old Wyoming cemetery stands 1.25 miles south of the intersection of 60th and A roads on the east side of the road. It is 0.6 miles sw of the actual location of the original cemetery. The cemetery has long been plowed over by years of farming in the area. The marker and plaque was erected by the descndants of some of the original Mormon settlers who passed thru this site as a testament to the courage and faith of their ancestors. The plaque made up of fragments of the remaining gravestones left buried in the field surrounding the cemetery, were cemented together as a memorial to these brave settlers and as a reminder that this cemetery once did exist, and that it's legacy should n never be forgotten. (There is more on the website that was not copied here. There is a map with GPS coordinates and photos of the marker, plaque and remaining gravestones.)
