Cemetery closed and interments relocated.

Mt. Calvary Cemetery was bordered by Whatcom, Lopez, Queen and St. Paul Streets in the City of Bellingham, WA. It was started on "Snake Hill" by Father BOULET (who served in the area from 1889-1905) and was reached by the now non-existent Pickett Road. Because of rock, the soil proved to be unsuitable for a cemetery and relatives were asked to remove the bodies. In a census of interments many are designated as having been reburied in Bayview Cemetery, but not all these can be located in the records. No other reinterments can be verified.

In a 1971 letter, Father Joseph DOOGAN, Director of Cemeteries, Archibishop's Office of the Catholic Church, Seattle, WA, noted that an old record book in the possession of Bayview Cemetery indicated a number of people had been removed and reinterred. In subsequent visits, several headstones were discovered in dense undergrowth.
