Mr. Shimerda, a character from Willa Cather's novel "My Ántonia," was buried in a secluded spot on the Shimerda family's homestead in Nebraska. His grave is marked by a simple wooden cross, reflecting the isolation and hardships faced by immigrant families in the harsh landscape. The burial site symbolizes the deep connection to the land and the struggles of the immigrant experience.
