Note by Submitter: Twenty veterans of U. S. wars are buried in the cemetery including two veterans of World War I: John S. Pittman (1894-1993) and Sol B. Reece (1896-1983). World War II veterans buried at Nance include Daniel A. Boone (1910-1998), Frazier Churchwell (1923-1944), Horace Clinton Colvett (1907-1990), William Larimore Colvett (1916-1944), Otha Conley (1911-1992), Glen Warren Corbett (1924-1990), Freddie Dorance Hunt (1925-1964), Herbert M. Jones (1924-1998), Jim Henry Moore (1919-1989), George Joseph Nyland (1924-1987), Charles Hart Rice (1923-1990), Ellis Leon Rice (1922-1987), Paul Taylor Rice (1926-1945), Clarence E. Stallings (1901-1972), Horace O. Stallings (1910-1961), Paul Stallings (1915-1944), Philip Williams (1916-1985), and Willis Wilson Williams (1924-1991). In addition to his service in World War II, Daniel Boone was a veteran of the Korean Conflict and George Nyland served in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.

Four of the World War II soldiers buried at Nance were killed in action during the war: Frazier Churchwell, Larimore Colvett, Paul Taylor Rice, and Paul Stallings. Charles Leon Hunt (1923-1944), another young man from the Nance community, also died during World War II. A memorial marker for Leon has been placed in the cemetery although he is buried in Belgium.

Nance has always been a closely knit community. In addition to its connected and involved blood lines, the families of Nance were kindred in spirit as well. The terribly dark days of World War II were to touch practically every home with death and to shatter the entire community. Before the war was consummated in Berlin and in the islands of the Pacific, Nance was to lose ten of her finest sons upon the battlefields. Nance and a small community in Oklahoma were to share the sad honor of losing more of their young men proportionally than any other communities in the nation.
