History

This Catholic Cemetery was moved. See cemetery #36, Calvary. The records are reported to be kept at Holy Cross although recent research is not able to locate them. In the 1960s during freeway construction bones were found near the area of Marquette University. It was originally reported that these bones were "Indian Burials". It is not believed that these bones were from the original Calvary cemetery.
