They have one large cemetery that had three main sections - one for the members of St. Mary's Church (mainly Germans), the other for St. Martin's parishioners (mainly Irish), and the protestant section. Or maybe it was three separate cemeteries that grew into each other over time.

St. Mary's and St. Martin's were only a few blocks from each other. St. Mary's closed several years ago and is now an antiques shop.
