My grandfather Robert Philip Parks was born in Nymore, Minn. Does
anyone know where that might be on the map? What county and
township Nymore might be in?
Never heard of that place at all. Might it be related to:
Nymore Cemetery in Beltrami County.

Nymore Bridge in Beltrami County.

Ahhh, this is it.

The Nymore Bridge is located in downtown Bemidji, Minnesota, where it
carries First Street, County Highway 110, over the Mississippi River.
At this point the Mississippi is essentially a channel between Lake
Bemidji on the north and Lake Irving on the south. When built in
1916, the bridge carried "Old Highway 2," connecting the city of
Bemidji with the village of Nymore. In 1917, Nymore
was annexed by the city of Bemidji as the fifth ward. Today, the main
city traffic is carried by Bridge No. 5316, located a short distance
northeast on Paul Bunyan Drive, Minnesota State Highway 197. Nymore
Bridge continues to serve local traffic.
