Compere Cemetery is all that remains of the farming community of Compere, established in the 1880s on ranch land sold by the Compere brothers. In 1900, Daniel and Callie Palmer settled in the area with their children Henry, Wilder, William, Roman, Vernon, Ford, and Norbin. The Palmers deeded two acres of land for a community cemetery in 1904, and the first known burial, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O.H. Ashby, took place that same year. Gravestones preserve information on former residents, including Carrie Shannon Palmer, who died in the 1918 Influenza Epidemic, as well as community leaders and veterans of military conflicts.
