Saint Joseph’s Catholic Cemetery.

Saint Joseph’s Catholic Cemetery is in Baton Rouge on North 15th Street, between ‘North Street and Main Street.  There are two entrances, one on the cemetery’s north side and the second on the southern edge.  This is a historic cemetery, and I was impressed with the overall disrepair and lack of upkeep. 

There are newer grave sites here, with dates of death only 50 years ago or so, but still, ongoing maintenance doesn’t appear to be.  Several headstones are made of concrete, many without visible or readable markings. 

I found my Theriot family there in the southeast corner.  This section appeared to me to have older resting places.

Street parking is only available, not much of it—no one is on site.  If I had to find someone here, I’d first research all the known indexes to narrow the search.

Hello,

I’m Aaron

My path toward discovery is never ending. Notice I say toward discovery. True discovery comes from the understanding that the journey is actually the destination.

I use this blog to share my discovery. Topics vary – ranging from my exercises in micro history and travel, to the strange things that come to my mind and how I engage them.
