Old Saint John’s Cemetery – Viola

Advertisements
6111 S. 199th Street W Viola

There are only 12 people buried here, according to findagrave.com.  The website also shows there are no famous people here either.

The oldest death date belongs to Peter Cassidy, he was born sometime in 1886 and died in 1888.  That’s about all I could find out. 

I got out of my car and heard dogs barking, which is no big deal, but they seemed loud, like big dogs.  A few minutes later, three dogs came running down the dirt road.  I held still and they came right up to me with their tails wagging.  They decided I was friendly and let me pet them.  One of the dogs followed me around the cemetery to make sure I didn’t do anything harmful.  Once I was done taking my pics, I gave him some love and walked towards the car.  He sat in the street until I pulled away, then he went back to his day.
