The cemetery was established when:
"The Catholic parish in Jonesburg was organized in 1868 and originally was called the Church of the Sacred Heart. No information seems available as to when the name was changed to St. Patrick's. The first congregation numbered 30; the church building, a frame structure, cost $1,200. For several years, the parish was served once a month from Montgomery City by priests who traveled on horseback." ~ St. Patrick Catholic Church
