Early Catholic Cemeteries

Kaw Township

The first Catholic cemetery in Kansas City was a plot in the ten acre tract bought by
Father Roux. It extended from Pennsylvania Avenue on the West to Jefferson Street.
Father Donnelly said of an earlier cemetery:

"There is a reason to believe that the first Christian who died in the vacinity of Kansas City
were buried at the summit angle of the bluff, just east of the foot of Grand Avenue. I saw
the rude cross there in 1848." 

The cemetery site at 31st and Jefferson Street, the present St. Joseph's Orphan Home, was
never used for burial purposes, because of its rocky soil which made it unsuitable.
When Father Donnelly purchased the forty acres comprising Mount St. Mary's Cemetery in 1876,
burials ceased in the old cemetery. Eventually all the bodies were transferred to Mount St.
Mary's cemetery, where the records are kept in a fireproof vault by its superintendent.
The St. Peter's and St. Paul's Cemetery situated at 24th and Brooklyn Avenue was established
in 1876 by the German speaking Catholics of Kansas City and abandoned in 1920, when most
of the bodies were transferred to Mount St. Mary's Cemetery.

Rev. Bernard Donnelly, resident Catholic pastor in Jackson County, Missouri, kept the records
in his own handwriting. The following summary was written by him in the year 1873, on the
completion of Volume 1 of these records and the beginning of Volume 2. Copied from the original
by Dorothy E. Buzby.

May 14, 1873

RECORDS OF THE DEAD, VOLUME 1
"This book commences the second volume of the Records of the Dead in the Catholic Congregations of the
City of Kansas, Jackson County, Missouri. All the records of the dead since the end of the year 1845
are contained in one single volume up to the foregoing date, a period of over 27 years and 4 months.
It is a long time to witness, by one pastor, the Lamentations uttered and the tears shed by friends
and relatives over the graves of 1,400 and about 6 persons since the end of the year 1845 up to May 14,
1873.

"I am now about commencing a volume after having finished one -- but who will finish this one? Will my
own name be written in this volume amongst the names of the departed, by some friendly pastor? Who will he
be? when will the time of Record come? Where shall be my burying place? Of these things I am ignorant.
He who created me -- who conducted me to this place -- whose love and providence I have experienced up to this
date -- He alone knows and foresees all these -- He who said, "Quae est enim vita vestra? Vapor est ad modicum
parents, et deinceps exterminabetur. Plange quasi virgo plebs mea; ululate sacerdotes in cinere et; quia venit dies
Domini magna et amara valde."

"I desire here to say that I wish to be interred in the midst of my flock -- in the present old cemetery of Kansas
City -- in the spot which I have already pointed out to my friends -- where the cross was planted by Faster DePointe, and around which are interred the mortal remains of those who first invoked and professed the name and doctrines
of my Divine Redeemer in this portion of the world, and whose remains I officially consigned to the dust during 28 years of my pastoral life. I am unable to state how many were buried in our old cemetery previously to the year
1845, but the first volume in my own handwriting has recorded in it the names of all those who died in Kansas City,
Westport, and the country around since January 1, 1846. Many were brought for interment from Clay and Wyandotte and
from more distant parts -- about 14 years ago, three corpses were hauled in from southern Kansas, a distance of 150
miles from Kansas City; the three were in one wagon.

"The spot where the first Catholics of Westport Landing were buried, was the summit of the bluff South of Sherman
house and east of the foot of Grand Avenue. The remains of at least one hunter were removed from there in my own
memory and reinterred in the Laliberte Lot in our present old cemetery.

"The original graveyard was but a small one fenced by oak pickets, dressed by the axe, sharpened at the upper end and stuck close together uprightly in the ground and enclosing less than half an acre. About the year 1858 the property in the neighborhood was laid off in lots and streets extended. At this period I extended the cemetery on all sides -- so as
to be bounded on the north by 11th Street and on the east by Pennsylvania Avenue, on the west by Jefferson Street, and on
the South by 12th Street, making a square of 270 feet free of street and sidewalks. I was obliged to put up new fences on
all sides at this period. I sold a few family lots at $2.50 each a few more at $5.00 each, and more recently a few $10.00
lots. The sale of these secured me the means of putting up the new fences. About 3 years ago I introduced the custom of charging $2.00 for each grave lot from which I derived a portion of the means to enable me to pay the interest on money
borrowed to purchase land for a new cemetery, 40 acres.

"At length the long expected railroads reached Kansas City, the bridge across the Missouri was completed, the city was
built up rapidly, property became very valuable in city and vacinity, the Catholic population was numerously increased and funerals became much more frequent than previously. Now I commenced to reflect more seriously on the necessity of securing more ample territory for the interment of the dead. To accomplish this many difficulties presented themselves. Firstly, owners of land beyond the city limits were unwilling to sell land at any price for cemetery purposes -- secondly, the prices asked were high, and thirdly -- I had not a dollar in my possession. At length I secured a 10 acre lot directly south of the old cemetery on the level summit of the hills south of McGee Creek and 1/8 of a mile of the line of Broadway. One corner of the lot joined the land of Mobillon McGee.

"These 10 acres cost me $2,200. I found my new purchase heavily and finely timbered. I now considered that I had a good
tract of well located land for a new cemetery. I had also purchased a few years before a tract of 20 acres from Mr. Guinotte,
and also the adjoining 10 acres from Mr. Bingham. These 30 acres I intended to use as my fire wood tract but finding that I had brick clay on my church lot and brick materials in great demand, and that I had two kinds of wood usually employed in
the making of brick, I conceived the novel idea of brick and ----- the wood on both tracts to aid in paying for the land.
I undertook the job and succeeded beyond my calculations, in two season of fatiguing labor and constant attention I had
16,000,000 bricks manufactured. I sold a portion to pay expenses, and donated the remainder to Convents and Churches. The extension of the city limits in the direction of the 10 acres now began to alarm me. I began to foresee the danger of again having our cemetery within the city bounds. Impelled by this idea I bought a tract of 40 acres from Mr. Levi Owings, S. E.
of McGee's addition which has cost me up to this date (July 1, 1873), $8,175 -- principal, interest, taxes, fencing and roadmaking. I have had a great desire to save the 10 acres -- but I have been compelled to mortgage them for $4,000 in order
to make the final payment on the 40 acres and in order also to save the new church at Westport from sheriff's sale at the suit
of the mechanics. In a few days I hope to have the debt on the 10 acres reduced to $3,000; but where shall this sum be found? I have not but a small parish -- a scanty support -- I am 63 years old today -- I have not had an entire day of rest for 30 years --
I am very tired -- weary with watching, loaded with cares -- perplexed by my own worthlessness, desponding yet hopeful -- baffled but determined to preserve, desiring to be dissolved and to be with Christ, but if He has any more work for me to do 'non recuso laborem.'

"The kind of citizens of Kansas City have generously tolerated our graveyard up to the present although it has been in the power of the
authorities to interdict interments. For this tolerant forbearance I feel exceedingly grateful."
