My Commentary:
This is a very well-kept, large church cemetery. Find-a-Grave states that just over 1700 gravesites have been photographed. There is a large Gothic Revival combination chapel and mausoleum in the center of the cemetery. The chapel is limestone, Gothic Revival like the main church. There have been interments in this chapel in the crypt - an unknown number. There is a marker just to the right of the entrance documenting one such interment.
ST.BONIFACE MORTUARY CHAPEL (contributing building [1899])
The Gothic style chapel was built in
1899 of brick and stone. An elaborate Gothic belfry features a continuously lighted "Resurrection of Our Lord." The chapel serves
as a final resting-place for the pastors in the crypt, for burial services and as a prayer chapel. It stands in the center of the cemetery.
