As they say, it's worth a thousand words. That was my last hope for finding my grandmother unless they should happen to find her at Mt Olivet. She must be in one of the unmarked graves there. I pray she was not one of those found during excavation. There's little left to do now but get a headstone put in there (Olivet) in her memory.

There is no detectable remainder of the cemetery left. The entire hill has been dug out for fill dirt, with the exception of a small wooded lot on the 16th street corner. My son and I walked through there, and could not find anything that resembled a headstone in there, although they could be buried under all of the underbrush. I am attaching a picture of what the place looks like now.

Wiley was a younger brother of my gtgtgrandfather, David T. Chapman, a pioneer settler of Daviess Co. MO, who settled west/north west of Pattonsburg. Subsequent to my 12/25/2001 posting, while I found Wiley & Nancy Chapman had no offspring, they did have money! Consequently, between 1880 & 1890, family members(including the Youngs) quickly named a number of sons Wiley!! I have his bio from "History of Buchanan Co", a copy of his will & some photos of Wiley & Nancy in their later years. Barry Chapman.

All the records from the Kansas City-St. Joseph Carholic Diocese are kept in Kansas City at the Chancery Office. Father Coleman is in charge of all the genealogy records. His email address is [email protected] He is very helpful and will get back to you promply. He has helped me a lot. You can also go there and look at records, microfilm etc. but you need to make an appointment with him so he will be sure and be there. He has records for all the Catholic Churches in St. Joseph. I don't know if he has records for Calvary Cemetery. That would be great. Hope this helps. Helen

I do not know the rules of a Catholic Cemetery and my question is: During the 1890s would a person have to *be* Catholic to be buried in a Catholic Cemetery -- either Calvary or Mt. Olivet?

The NW MO Genealogy Society has published a book with information about people buried at Calvary Cemetery. The sent out requests from members to submit names and burial information of relatives they knew were buried there. They also did some extracting from death notices that were published in the local newspapers. It is not a complete list though. As far as the original records they do not exist anymore.

Helen, Thanks for the info @ Mt. Calvary. Hard to believe a religious cemetery would be neglected & handled in this manner. I do not think our ancestors who were buried there would have the financial means for nice headstones, so leaves us guessing where their remains actually are located. Marie

God Bless that librarian! 'Bulldozed' out -- breaks my heart......Is/was there nothing sacred about the resting places of our loved ones? It is now over 100 years later, and we think we're so progressive and smart.. To think that sacrificing the resting places of our loved ones, was for the progress of the farmer (in many instances, who wanted more farm ground) and making way for buildings, roads, etc. AD NAUSEUM, I say..... Greed is an ugly thing...

Hello list , Phil here , Quoting from a lettter dated July 1999 from the Libraian at " NWMGS " , St Joseph . the Catholic Cemetary was Destroyed about 1895 , graves that were Identifed by family that were located were moved to the ' new ' Cemetery " Mt Olivet " , Those that were unidentifable were Bulldozed out . the libraian said she worked on a book of names for several years I assume that this book is at ' Northwest Missouri Genealogical Society ' !! , Phil

I had family buried at Mt. Calvary cemetery in St. Joseph. I have lived here all my life. Mt. Calvary was owned by the Catholic Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph. I am not absolutely positive about this, but, as far as I know there are NO graves or headstones left at what was known as Mt. Calvary. The hill on which the cemetery stood has been removed. It is flat there now. They moved what graves and headstones they could. I don't know what they did with the dirt that was taken off that hill. Probably used it for landfill someplace. Like you said, the people at Mt. Olivet (yes, this is a Catholic cemetery) told me that they moved what they could find to Mt. Olivet. If there were headstones they were moved with the person buried there. If there were graves without headstones they were moved to Mt. Olivet and buried where they had room. I guess the Catholic Diocese neglected the cemetery and it was vandalized all the time, and was always overgrown with weeds etc. My husband lived near this cemetery as a child, and they cut through the cemetery on their way to school. He remembers that it was never in good condition. That's about all I can tell you. Hope this helps a little bit.

I am researching my husband's Lattner ancestors who were buried at Calvary Cemetery. Anyone who has any information about headstones/graves still at Calvary, I hope they will share with this list. I've not found much information on the Lattner's and we are very distressed at the possibility of learning about human bones in the fill dirt. I have a couple of questions, if anyone has answers: 1. Is the area that still has burials maintained? 2. Does a list exist naming the original burials? 3. Does a list exist naming those still buried? 4. Did the Catholic Church/Diacese own Calvary & did they sell & to whom? 5. Cemeteries aren't sold often, does anyone know why it was sold/burials moved? I'm researching a similiar situation in Texas where a cemetery was removed to make room for a highway. In this situation, burials were removed to several cemeteries & private cemeteries. Marie

The lady who operates Mt. Mora told me she thought there were some graves left at Calvary and they had been vandalized. Headstones were knocked over and broken and unidentifable. My relatives were supposed to have been moved to Mt Olivet. The people there have been very helpful, but have been unable to find any of them. They said they had some unmarked graves in one area. I have talked to them about erecting headstones in that area but only as a last resort. If you know of any broken headstones at Calvary that might be pieced together or readable, I would like to know. I will come form AL and look myself if I can get some clue. I am very distressed that my beautiful grandmother has been so neglected.
