Catholic Cemetery (Montana Catholic Mission)
Union Gap, Yakima County, Washington, USA
The "old" Catholic Cemetery was located on the northwest corner of property once called the "Montana Catholic Mission". This property was purchased by the Catholic Church for a mission closer to the then Yakima City (now Union Gap) in the 1870's. It served as the first Catholic Cemetery near Union Gap and Yakima.
The building that once stood on the grounds was moved to Yakima shortly after the city was created. It served as the first St. Joseph's church until the permeant one was built on the property.
The individuals listed in this cemetery were thought to have been buried first in this cemetery, and then moved to Calvery Cemetery when it started in 1903.
It's believed that some Yakama Indians who were Catholic were also laid to rest at this location, although no information about their removal could be found.
