Judy, Here is a posting by the: ST. LOUIS PUBLIC LIBRARY PREMIER LIBRARY SOURCES Picotte (also called Piggott, Old Picotte, Vickert, Old Picker, German Evangelical Cemetery; Arsenal between Louisiana and Compton; 1845-1898) Old Old Picker’s Cemetery (Kansas-Wyoming-Louisiana-Arsenal area of South St. Louis; area now home to Roosevelt High School.; Cholera Victims, 1845-1889; removed July 1916.

New Picotte (Gravois Rd., offices 709 Soulard & 1334 S. 7th, same as New Picker) Gatewood Gardens Cemetery (formerly, St. Louis Memorial Gardens & New Picker) (Administered by St. Louis Development Corp.) Your questions relative to Holy Ghost Cemetery. Several years ago this was posted on one of the St. Louis Message lists. "Call Jason or Denise Phillips, Cemetery Coordinator, at the St. Louis Development Corporation at (314) 622-3400, ext. 244. Tell her the names of the deceased you are looking for in the cemetery. She will kindly send you a map of the cemetery, copies of the lot owner cards and a copy of the information from the original cemetery book. She is getting the cemetery fixed up with signs for the various sections and maintenance to keep it looking nice. "Jason at that office who apparently has taken over the management of these records. "While all of the graves at Holy Ghost Cemetery were moved to what is now Gatewood Gardens (after going through the "new" and "old" Picker's names), some of the records for "single" graves may not have survived. Whoever did the moving of graves took more care with maintaining family plot records than single grave plots. Denise Phillips St. Louis Development Corporation Suite 1200 1015 Locust Street St. Louis, MO 63101 Phone: (314) 622-3400, ext. 244 Fax: (314) 231-2341 and (314) 622-3413 There was a tombstone survey done in 1997, your Wilhelms Family is not listed. Not unusual since less than 60% of burials in any given cemetery aren't memorialized with a tombstone. And in the case of Pickers, I don't know if they survey party did both cemeteries on Gravois, the cemetery is on two different areas. Bill
