| When
St. Louis was established as a trading post, no
one could imagine that its population would grow
to the extent that it has. Like many cemeteries
of large cities, the graves of many would have to
be moved again and again to accomodate the growth
of the city. In fact, until the small private
burial areas were replaced by large enclosures
which were protected by some church or order, the
word cemetery was not used. They were known then,
as burial grounds or grave yards. Located in North St. Louis
County, Memorial Park Cemetery, was not opened
after World War I in 1919, long after the first
burial ground was established by the Catholic
Fathers in 1776.
