The first burial in the Jerome Cemetery was recorded in
the year 1909.  Since that time the cemetery has grown to
serve the town and countryside surrounding Jerome.  There is
only one other cemetery in Jerome County and it is located in
the east end of the county near Hazelton, Idaho.
     The Jerome Cemetery is owned and governed by a cemetery
board of six members.  They are Chairman, Bill Block,
Secretary, Cleo C. Ambrose, Harry E. Wilson, Ted Diehl,
Marshall Everheart, and Thomas Newman.  Mrs. Cleo (Helen)
Ambrose also serves as Secretary with her Husband.  Sexton
for the cemetery is Lowell Van Orman.
     The cemetery is located one-half mile south and one-
half mile west of the center of Jerome.  It has many
beautiful trees and shrubs and is entirely grass covered.
The cemetery is divided into four subdivisions which are:

             Subdivision No. l ---- Pine View

             Subdivision No. 2 ---- Pleasent View

             Subdivision No. 3 ---- Meadow View

             Subdivision No. 4 ---- Mountain View

There is also one mausoleum in the cemetery.
     We began the job of compiling the cemetery records in
the summer of 1990.  The information is on burials from 1909
to July 31, 199l. Information was taken from the Cemetery
Burial Record Books, and also from the headstones at the
gravesites. We only listed the spouses that share stones, or
the individual stones that listed their spouses on them.
There are undoubtedly many with individual stones that did
not list their relationship to each other. Where there were
second marriages we knew of we, made a note to that effect.
     Some burials were much later than the death, which in
some cases were servicemen who were returned for burial here.
Some also have been reinterned here from other burial sites.
There are a few which we did not find burial dates for.
Some years in the burial records the death date was listed
rather than the burial date.  Therefore the death date and
burial date are the same on some of the records.
     We have tried to make it as accurate as humanly possible
and hope it will be of help to anyone researching cemetery
records for this area.
     We would like to thank Cleo and Helen Ambrose for
letting us use the burial record books and for their help.
