Early Founders Marker - Calvary Cemetery

For those unaware, my last entry on the Early St. Louis website noted that a memorial marker was placed at Calvary cemetery on June 20th to honor the Early Founders of St. Louis.

Connie Nisinger, who has done a great deal of photographing headstones in Bellefontaine and Calvary, kindly sent me photos of the new monument.

I took the names inscribed on the headstone photo, and extracted information from Frederic L. Billon's book to include the information of those persons. Some of which are: Bequet, Beaugeneau, Chouteau, Gamache, Dodier, Kiersereau, Picard etc.

Note: Clicking on the photo will present a close up photo of the names on the monument. Many thanks to Connie, as always, for her photographs. A link to her Find A Grave entries for all those included on the monument is also found in the links at the bottom of the page.

Hope you enjoy,
Patti
