Saint Boniface Cemetery – Quincy – Adams County – United States

Saint Boniface Cemetery is a Roman Catholic cemetery on South 21st Street in Quincy, Adams County, Illinois. It is owned and operated by the Roman Catholic Cemetery Association of Quincy, which also manages two other Catholic cemeteries in the city. The present cemetery was established in 1860 after land was purchased near 20th and State Streets for the German Catholic community. It became known as the German Catholic Cemetery, and some burials from an earlier Catholic cemetery on Maine Street were transferred there around 1875. Historical accounts identify Father Hermann Schaefermeyer’s pastorate at Saint Boniface Church with the cemetery’s establishment. Cemetery records and burial indexes for genealogical research are available through regional and family-history collections. ([rccaquincy.com](https://rccaquincy.com/about/?utm_source=openai))
