Hay Springs Cemetery lies south-east of Hay Springs, half a mile west of State Highway 87, in the north-east corner of Section 1. It is maintained by the Hay Springs Cemetery Association.
St. Mary's, the Catholic cemetery, stands about two hundred yards away and is a separate ground with separate records. Search both. The county's records also refer to a second Hay Springs Cemetery out in the county, distinct from this one.
Around 2,332 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 Village of Hay Springs, or the Sheridan County Clerk in Rushville. Ownership can also be confirmed through the Nebraska Statewide Cemetery Registry at the State Historical Society.
