Purdum Cemetery — Purdum

Purdum Cemetery lies at Purdum, in the northwest of Blaine County. It is the largest burial ground in the county, which says something about how the people of this corner of the Sandhills were spread — Purdum has never been more than a hamlet.

Around 704 memorials have been recorded, which is a record of what has been photographed and indexed rather than a count of everyone buried there.

For burial records or plot inquiries, contact the Blaine County Clerk in Brewster. Ownership can also be confirmed through the Nebraska Statewide Cemetery Registry at the State Historical Society.
