Dane Cemetery lies in the far west of the county, recorded locally as six miles east of Gordon. It sits close to the county line, and Gordon itself is over the boundary in Sheridan County — but the cemetery is listed with Cherry County in the county's own records, and the coordinates will take you to it whichever side of the line it falls. It is listed under Irwin, the nearest village in Cherry County, about nine miles to the north-east; Gordon, six miles west, is closer but lies in Sheridan County.
Around 27 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.
