Saint Mary's Cemetery Attraction Details
Saint Mary's Cemetery
http://www.ushistory.org/tour/tour_stmary.htm
During the 1832 cholera epidemic a Sanitary Commission was created to care for the sick in temporary hospitals and at the very unsanitary Almshouse. After a "nurses" panic at the Almshouse, the Commission appealed to the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Philadelphia who then called upon the Maryland Sisters of Charity, nine of whom are buried here. Incomplete records and worn tombstones make the exact location impossible to determine.
