I am uncertain whether there are still burials at this cemetery or not. It is out in the country and even my Catholic friends aren't sure.
"The only Catholic cemetery in Scott County is located on the church (St. Francis de Sales) property across the highway from the church. The St. Francis Cemetery dates back to the late 1790's and holds the remains of many of the early Catholic residents of the area. Also buried there is Revolutionary war soldier Bennett Greenwill. Two priests are buried there as well. Located in a separate gated section on the St. Francis lawn is a burial area for the nuns who served the churches and also for the remains of the nuns that were moved from the Cardome property when it was sold."
