"[This] is the Old Catholic Cemetery near the intersection of Highway H and Bayer Road. A giant
cross was erected to honor all those buried here. Although there are no markers remaining for individual graves, a list
of those buried on this site is on file at the Gasconade County Archives Building. This cemetery was part of St. George
Parish started in 1844. The earliest burial here dates back to 1848. In 1854, the Missouri Pacific Railroad was built
through Hermann. Many railroad works who died from an outbreak of cholera are buried here." ~ Herman Tourist Bureau
