Isidor and Artimise were my 4xGreat Grandparents.
From what I have found online, this isn't the original building, but was built in about 1853-1856.
I FOUND THIS ON THE WEB
Until 1819 the only cemetery associated with St. Joseph Cathedral was known as Our Lady of Sorrows Cemetery and took its name from the original name of the parish, established in 1792 when Baton Rouge was still a Spanish colony. Thisoriginal cemetery was behind the present Cathedral on land now covered byNorth Street, between Fourth and Fifth Streets. On June 9, 1819,George Garig donated a cemetery for parishioners in the southern portion of the parish,known as the Old Catholic Cemetery, and now known as the Highland RoadCemetery. By 1824, the original cemetery on North Street which had been in operation since Baton Rouge's first days had become too small, and the Board of Trustees of the church began looking around for another burial ground. They purchased four arpents of ground for the new cemetery. A small corner was enclosed with fence rails, and several funerals had already taken place inthe new burial ground. Thus 1824 is the date officially given as the beginning of St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery. The location, between North and Main Streets where it stands today, was a half mile outside the city limits ofthe time on what was known as the Comite Road. When it was first opened, manyfamilies who had relatives and ancestors buried in the old Spanish cemetery moved the remains to the new one.
Where my Henry Grandparents and Great Grandparents attended Church. Also my dad when he was a youngster.
No relatives found here yet, but what a beautiful piece of history.
