Lavaca Cemetery lies at Irwin, in the far west of Cherry County near the Sheridan County line. Its stones include an old cement upright slab, badly weathered, among the marked graves.
Around 119 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 enquiries, contact the Cherry County Clerk in Valentine. Ownership can also be confirmed through the Nebraska Statewide Cemetery Registry at the State Historical Society.
