St. Michael Cemetery opened in 1851 and was designated as a German Catholic Cemetery. The property was originally called “St. Michael – Gottes Acker,” which means “God’s Acre.”

The parishes of St. Boniface, St. Martin and St. Vincent De Paul were originally responsible for the maintenance of St. Michael. St. Elizabeth of Hungary added its support in 1906. Diocesan and Franciscan priests, Ursuline Sisters, Sisters of St. Frances and Sisters of Notre Dame have their lots at St. Michael.

This cemetery has provided burials for approximately 40,000 people.
