Notes: Between 1823-1836, three cemeteries were established at the intersection of St Charles Road (AKA: Franklin AKA: Martin Luther King) and Pratte (AKA: Jefferson).  East of Pratte was a Presbyterian cemetery (est. before 1836), west of Pratte was a mixed Catholic / Public cemetery (deeded 1824), and west of the Catholic / Protestant was a Methodist cemetery (deeded 1828).  Plan of the City of St. Louis, 1850 - a map by Julius Hutawa documents the location of these three cemeteries.  Significant mis-information exists regarding these three cemeteries.

Bodies were removed from Old Catholic (St. Louis King of France) Cemetery to the “New Catholic Cemetery” located at Franklin-Pratte. Cemetery was initially Public but became Catholic as neighboring Protestant Cemeteries were opened. Cemetery was abandoned sometime following the Cholera epidemic of 1849 but still appears on J.H. Colton’s Map of St. Louis 1855. 12 Oct 1864 the Missouri Republican reported deplorable conditions at the cemetery and bodies were exumed and moved to Calvary, Rock Spring, and the vault at Bridget of Erin. Among the bodies removed to Bridget of Erin were a number of known Methodists- leading to some speculation that the Methodist and Catholic Cemeteries were not well-defined. Very few records exist for burials at the Franklin-Pratte cemeteries.  AKA: Franklin - Pratt Catholic Cemetery, Second Catholic Cemetery
