St Joseph's Cemetery

The St Joseph Cemetery was beautiful... very ornate monuments and well cared for.


 I visited St Joseph's when I visited the other historical cemeteries last month.
The Star Cemetery backs up to it. A stark difference in the level of care between the two cemeteries. But, Holy Trinity Church sees to the maintence of St Josephs... and it shows.


In about 1882 Holy Trinity Catholic Church bought ten-and-one-half acres for $210 to establish a Catholic


A large monument is dedicated to the five Catholic priests who died during the yellow fever epidemic of 1873

This cemetery is near the Main Post Office ... where greenwood Rd becomes Texas Avenue. At the time of it's original purchase it was "Texas Road"
Beautiful and historical grounds and monuments.
