Sacred Heart Catholic Cemetery, surrounded by an iron picket fence with a brick entry, stands as a reminder of those who came before. The White Deer Land Company donated five acres for the cemetery on March 4, 1913, and the deed was recorded in Carson County on April 25, 1914. The land lies about a quarter mile north of the historically Polish Sacred Heart Catholic Church. The first burial was the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. E.N. Czerner, who died on January 28, 1913. Three years later, in 1916, the parish had its first adult death, and Mrs. Jacob Tuleja became the first adult buried there. For many years, the grounds were tended only on special days of remembrance such as funerals, Memorial Day, and All Souls Day. In 1956, while Father Jerome Hancox was pastor of Sacred Heart parish, a parish meeting decided to create a constitution and bylaws for care of the grounds, trees were planted, and a crucifix was installed in the center. Father Hancox was later buried there at the feet of Christ at his request. In 1988, the cemetery committee finalized plans for a new fence and entryway, and work began in January 1989 and was completed three months later. Those buried there include veterans of World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, and the only serviceman killed in action buried there was Sgt. Larry A. May, who died in Vietnam. The cemetery remains in use, and parishioners continue to maintain and improve it together, as their ancestors did.
