Volcano Catholic Cemetery
Volcano, Amador County, California, USA
A second cemetery was started next door to the Methodist Church, surrounding the St Bridget Catholic Church, which was built circa 1857, replacing the original Catholic Church built nearby in 1854.
The earliest known burials at St Bridget with existing headstones are Margaret Rowe and Mary Lucot in 1861. All that remains of the original church is a building site. Rumor has it a family of skunks took up residence under the old church and they could not be eradicated, thus being torn down prior to 1931 when the new Catholic Church, St Bernard, was built on the site of the original 1854 church. The cemetery is still active and has about 140 known burials on the just under one acre parcel.
