About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Saint Joseph's monastery was the first Benedictine woman's convent founded in 1852. The Benedictine motto "to pray to work", it was originally a self-sustained facility with its own crops and livestock. Later housing a ceramic shop, a recycling center and a gift shop. The nuns worked in and with the community teaching, nursing etc. Due to declining enrollment and aging nuns, it was officially closed in 2014 with the remaining 17 nuns unanimously agreeing to close, and they were dispersed elsewhere.
The cemetery is located behind a fenced in area along W Benedict St and has a paved road/path leading up to a small pavilion with the cemetery behind/beside it. Access it through the Church St entrance and parking is next to the fence and towards St Mary's Roman Catholic church.

Row 1 starts lowest towards a Catholic shrine on your left and works towards the tall cross on your right, numbering left to right starting at the fence side.
