    1. Re: [LAORLEAN] St. Roch Cemetery
    2. Alexa
    3. St. Joseph's Walk runs from St. Roch Ave to Music St along the North Rampart Street side of Cemetery # 1.  When entering the main gate, it's the last aisle to your left.  It runs the length of that side of the cemetery.  The only section E I can find is in St. Hubert's Walk along the back side of the cemetery, near the rear of the chapel. I don't see "St. Joseph" anywhere in Cemetery # 2.

Is there a map? An article by Barbara Trevigne published in the October 2010 New Orleans Genesis gives the location of the burial place of John Montagne, died August 23, 1885, as a wall vault in Square E, no. 2225, Row I, St. Joseph's aisle. This is from the St. Roch Interments book, vol. 1 (1882-1907) Campo Santo, which I accessed on microfilm at NOPL. I'm sure this is the person I'm looking for (Jean Montanee) because the interment record gives his death date, age, race, and the place where he died. I assume that he is interred is in the older, front cemetery. I went there to look for his wall vault, but could find no Square E and no St. Joseph's aisle. There used to be a sexton there to help visitors, but no more. Carolyn Long
