THOMPSON, MONTGOMERY, MCWILLIAMS CEMETERY
by Nancy Hartman

Note 1: 1983 -
"Unnamed and abandoned burial site in the North West corner of the town of Ulysses, Butler County Nebraska. On 10 June 1983, Nancy Hartman visited this site. After being told the stones had been moved in about 1975, from the graves and placed across the road to the east. This was done so a new resident could use the former location for a horse lot. The stones are lying on the ground one large stone is broken and lying on the side I could have been unable to read some of the inscriptions. They are in tall grass near a row of Cedars."

  • THOMPSON James Francis, died 7 Jan.1883, age 19 years
    Thos. died 7 Jan. 1883 age 65
    Jane wife of Thos. Thomson, died 7 Jan. 1883 age 61

    Charlie s/o Mr. & Mrs. A. Montgomery died 14 Feb. 1872 age 14 years, 6 mo. 15 days ( Small stone)

  • MC WILLIAMS
    Rosella d/o of J. I. and L.E. McWilliams died 7 Dec. 1880, age 3 years, 11 mo. 16 days. (Small stone)

Note 2: 2007 -
As of today, 3 October 2007, I see the stones have been moved to the Knauber or Karpisek Cemetery. Because some of my information is different, I checked the 1880 census which listed:

Thomas Thompson, age 62 wife Jane age 60, lived in Spark, Butler co. Nebraska.  They had Robert, Rosella and a niece Ida Anderson.

Albert Montgomery age 44 and wife Mary A. age 39 lived in Ulysses, Butler co. Nebraska. They had Ellen, Samuel, Clara age 17, William, Edgar, Robert, Carlos.

J. McWilliams age 32 and wife Lois age 25 lived in Brainerd, Butler co. Nebraska. They had Rosella age 3.

As of today, I am not sure what has happened to the lot where the graves are I have never been back to the location. May we always remember these people. - Nancy Hartman.
