Cemetery
In 1897 the Board of Managers declared that a plat of ground across the railroad tracks and next to the highway be the cemetery for the Home. Today the cemetery is located near the northwest corner of the property, next to the cemetery for St. Richard's Church. Laid out on a rectilinear grid with stone headstones, the cemetery is an integral part of the Home and thus is considered contributing to the district.
