I went back by Father Dickson Cemetery, a historic African American cemetery off of Sappington Road, which I visited back in 2015 for a story for St. Louis Magazine. It still looks great, and is a model for maintaining a historic burial place.
I also went back St. Paul Cemetery, off of Rock Hill Road, which I had visited back in the summer of 2016.
Like most Lutheran cemeteries, it was owned by the individual church, and not by a larger organization, such as is the situation with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. Louis.
I like the “Norman” style gate house and pylons at the entrances.
Readers interested in attending my short lecture about Civil War forts in St. Louis can come to the Missouri History Museum tomorrow, Tuesday, November 13, 2018 at 10:30 AM in the Lee Auditorium.
