About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Established in 1842, Saint John the Evangelist Church was the first Catholic parish in Honesdale.

The old church building (which disappeared after the 1890s) was replaced in the 1870s by the current church, located immediately adjacent to the site.

According to an announcement in the Wayne County Herald (April 1866), the old parish cemetery was to discontinue interments on June 1, 1866. A similar notice in the same newspaper (May 1866) noted that land for a new cemetery had been purchased south of town (the site of the current St. John the Evangelist Catholic Cemetery). According to the parish, graves from the old cemetery were moved to the new cemetery in the early 20th century, but it is not clear whether all graves were relocated. A sign on the site today suggests that there may well be graves remaining.
