Here is what is written in the Mills County Cemetery book.

BOMAR BURIALS ON WRIGHT FARM

There are five stones in this wooded area marking the burials of five children of three Bomar families on the former Wright farm in Center Township, in the Northeast Quarter of Section 17. In an invterview for the Omaha World Herald (newspaper) in 1963, Mr. Roy Wright stated a Bomar family once lived near his grandfather's farm and apparently used the timber as a burial plot. They weren't living there when his grandfather bought the farm about the turn of the century. Some believe that the Bomar family was one of several that settled in the Glenwood area after leaving the main Mormon group heading west early in the 1850's. Mr. Wright was placing flowers on the graves that Memorial Day.
