Shady Rest Cemetery

Shady Rest Cemetery lies at the west end of Beaver Lake, in the south-west quarter of the north-east quarter of Section 26, Township 29, Range 29, in the lake country well south of Valentine. Some indexes attach it to Valentine, but it is a long way out from the town. It is listed under Kennedy, the nearest village, about nine miles to the north-west.

Only three memorials have been indexed, which is a record of what has been photographed rather than a count of everyone buried there.

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