I am looking for the cemetery that my great grandparents were buried in in Joliet. They were Catholic, so I thought I would start with the Catholic cemeteries. One death was around 1900 and the other in 1923. I have found a Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Joliet, but cannot find a phone number for it. The address is 1350 E. Cass, Joliet. I would appreciate any information. My families in Joliet are RICKEY, GLEASON, RYAN. John and Bridget Rickey ran a hotel at 35 South Joliet Street in 1880 (census record). Thanks, Joan Byrne
Hi Joan, there is a Holy Cross Catholic Church (?School) and Cemetery. That is where my RYBAs, and other surnames are buried. I cannot find the address and telephone number right now -- but I have called Holy Cross and they were very helpful to me in providing baptismal, marriage and death records.
