St. Joseph's Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery
History
St. John's Evangelical was formerly located in section 32 on S. Howell Ave. In 1975 it was moved due to the expansion of Mitchell Field Airport. The graves were moved to Forest Hill Cemetery in Oak Creek. Dottie W. was able to track them down and visited the cemetery. Unfortunately, the graves were not placed in their original order, so family groups may not have been kept together -they appear to be alphabetized! There are also many marked with "Unknown" as their markers were no longer legible. All of the "unknown" were grouped together, rather than with the original neighboring graves.
They did not give access to a list for the graves that were moved. If you know a name you can ask and they will look at the burial cards. There was not a lot of information on the person buried, but it did tell if they shared a grave (like children) who else it was shared with.
Below are the known graves from that cemetery. The graves that were not moved by family elsewhere are now buried at Forest Hill.

GRAVESITES WILL BE MOVED

The heirs of some of the early settlers whose graves remain in St. John's Ev. Lutheran church cemetery, 5601 S. Howell ave., are being sought. Graves are being removed from the property now owned by the county, to make room for expansion of the west runway at Mitchell field.
