    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WMB.2ACE/4609.2 Message Board Post: From Dave Lossos' website: Holy Ghost Evangelical and Reformed Cemetery - OC-Mo SLGS Vol. 4. StLMO:, 1982. Holy Ghost Evangelical Cemetery - STLGSQ: Vol. IX, No. 4 (Dec. 1976) by Mabel Faatz - "Holy Ghost or "Old Picker's" at Compton-Wyoming-Louisiana-Arsenal Sts. was opened in 1845 as the Holy Ghost Evangelical Cemetery but for most of the time was better known as "Old Picker's" since that was the name of the church's pastor at the time the cemetery was opened. The city has ordered this cemetery closed several times but the ordinance was not enforced until 1917. Records of this cemetery may be found at Holy Ghost Church, now on Mardel Avenue. {This is not the same as the cemetery on Gravois.)" Comments from Art Robinson (4/7/2001): Holy Ghost cemetery records are at Eden seminary library, archives section, Webster Groves. Dave's website about genealogy in St. Louis which I consider one of the best for information and links. http://genealogyinstlouis.accessgenealogy.com/ St. Louis Public Library which has a lot of information and will make copies for a very reasonable fee. http://www.slpl.lib.mo.us/libsrc/geneinfo.htm http://www.slpl.lib.mo.us/library.htm
