Old City Burial Ground S. Monroe and W. Seventh Street
submitted by Lynn Thomas	submitted by Janet Kwasniak	“Although earlier cemeteries which have since disappeared existed at Monroe and Front Streets and Monroe at 6th Street, this sacred ground is the successor to the first parish cemetery established in 1794 and abandoned in 1830. That first cemetery was located west of Monroe on N. Custer Rd. as part of the St. Antoine’s church land. Parishioners renamed their church St. Mary’s, locating it at Elm Avenue and Monroe Street and consecrating a new burial ground on this site. During the cholera epidemic of 1832 victims of all nationalities and religions were buried alongside the Roman Catholic parishioners to whom it was once dedicated.”

St. Pauls Lutheran Cemetery Albain Rd. near Telegraph
submitted by Janet Kwasniak	This is a picture of my great great grandfathers grave at St. Pauls Lutheran Cemetery in Monroe, Michigan. His name was Ludwig Knab and he was born 24 February 1793 in Baden-Wuettemberg, Germany. He died on 3 April 1874 in Monroe, Monroe County Michigan.	He was married to Madeline Zahnlocker Knab born 1801 and died 1951. They had 5 children. Madeline is also buried at St Pauls but we have been unable to find a stone for her. A very rough translation of the inscription at the bottom of the head stone reads, "The graves open up to honor, home and the world. Today you are still taking care of your home but at the dark front gate. The waning day extinguishes your life." words were either a very old dialect or person sculpting the stone was not literate. submitted by Sandra Knapp Smith
