I checked the 1885 City directory and found this: HOLST J. F. & Bro. (J.F. Holst and .....), undertakers and funeral directors, 320 Main, Tel. No 54. (See p.58) P.58 is just their advertisement. They are no longer in business. I am supposed to go to Elmwood Cemetery tomorrow for their open house and tours....I'll see if they are there. That is the oldest cemetery in Memphis. Then there is Calvary Cemetery which is Catholic which is next oldest, I think. There were a lot of German Catholics in the area, so I would suspect Calvary would be the one. Let me check Elmwood tomorrow and I'll get back to you.
