Jack Shafer Memorial Cemetery is a small burial ground in Garfield County, about three miles north-west of Burwell.
Parker Cemetery is recorded barely four hundred feet away. Whether they are two adjoining grounds or one ground carried under two names is not settled, and Parker has no burials indexed at all, so anyone tracing a burial should check both.
Find a Grave holds 11 memorials for it, which is a record of what has been photographed and indexed rather than a count of everyone buried there. For burial records or plot enquiries, contact the City of Burwell, or the Garfield County Clerk in Burwell. Ownership can also be confirmed through the Nebraska Statewide Cemetery Registry at the State Historical Society.
