This cemetery is now a city of St. Louis park - known as St. Marcus Commemorative Park.



The cemetery was established by the St. Marcus Church in 1856. The cemetery closed in 1960. In 1977, the land was sold to the city and was turned into a park. Only those graves that were maintained under perpetual care (2,290 out of about 19,500 total) were moved to New Saint Marcus Cemetery and Mausoleum. Some grave markers still remain in the park.
