St. Henry's is one of the three cemeteries near "Churchville." It is located behind the St. Henry Catholic Church, canonically closed 30 June 2007. (Calvary United Cemetery, aka Immanual Evangelical, is directly across the road from St. Henry's).
Henry Schneckenburger died in 1867 and was buried at North American Martyrs Roman Catholic Cemetery in Wardsville, the closest Catholic cemetery at that time. Not long afterward, his widow Regina donated the land which became the first Roman Catholic cemetery in Aldborough Township. The first burials were in 1874.
Because Saint Mary's Roman Catholic Cemetery, in West Lorne, was opened in the 1880's, burials in St. Henry's are primarily Schneckenburgers and other local families.
