St.
Bridget's Cemetery
Boomer Township
 
This cemetery is located just north of 185th Street and Terrace Avenue.
In the 1885 Pottawattamie County Atlas, the land around the cemetery
was owned by Jno. Ryan who is buried here.
There is a large white pillar with a large bell on top and the name of
the cemetery. At one time, there was a Catholic Church here, but it has
been torn down. There is a horseshoe-shaped drive through the cemetery.
To simplify things, we read it in three sections: East (nearest the
road), Middle (between the sides of the horseshoe) and West (farthest
from the road). The rows were numbered in each section starting nearest
the road.
The cemetery is well cared for and active. The cemetery was read June
23, 2001 by Vicki King and Joyce Hickman.

Cemetery, as well as photographs of gravestones, click here.
