Admah West Cemetery, Washington County, NebraskaCemetery Information: Also known as St. Johannes, West Admah or Admah Lutheran Cemetery. In 1948, interested persons, descendants of the first members of St. Johannes Danish Evangelical Church of Admah, decided to form a cemetery organization, known as West Admah Cemetery Association. The first meeting was held in the Edwin Dam home, with lawyers O'Hanlon and O'Hanlon to assist them in drawing up a constitution, and electing a board of trustees. Each year the Sunday before Memorial Day, a meeting is held at the cemetery to transact any business which concerns the organization. Interested persons helped to clean up the cemetery grounds; a new fence was erected and the old church was sold to a nearby farmer. Upon organizing, members were assessed two dollars dues, until 1961, when contributions were received and placed in reserve and the interest is used as a perpetual fund for the upkeep of the cemetery. A Danish inscription on one of the tombstones reads, "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord -- their deeds go with them."
