This cemetery, the second largest Catholic cemetery in the St. Louis area, was established in 1850 and continues to be active. It was originally opened to serve the southside German community when their small parish cemeteries closed. The St. Louis Catholic Archdiocese owns this cemetery and their burial records may be searched at the cemetery office. This index includes records up to June 2001.
