Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: A view of the United German & French Cemetery in Cheektowaga, New York, as seen on an August 2021 afternoon. Established in 1859, United German & French was one of several cemeteries in the Pine Hill section of Cheektowaga that were founded by delegates from six of the Roman Catholic churches in the adjacent city of Buffalo - St. Louis, St. Michael, St. Peter, St. Mary Redemptorist, St. Boniface and St. Ann - whose small individual burying grounds within the city limits were nearly full, not to mention situated on land that was quickly urbanizing and increasing in value, and who were thus in search of a wide expanse of land that was beyond the bounds of development at the time, yet close enough to the city to be accessible with relative ease. By the turn of the century, United German and French had come to be used as the official burying ground of no fewer than 48 churches, three infant asylums and two nursing homes. It's now a subsidiary of the Mount Calvary Cemetery Group. |
