"The parish cemetery lay near the church like an early country burial ground. A pioneer woman of Walla Walla, who had lived at the rear of the church when a child, recalled that as far back as 1903 she could peep through a high board fence and see stones with inscriptions still standing there, but remembered none of the names. Many of the graves, but not all, had been removed to the Catholic section of Mountain View Cemetery that opened in 1891. No trace of the others remains."
The original cemetery is now under the buildings and parking lots of St. Mary Medical Center. Of the 43 burials there listed by Munnick, none are shown to have been re-interred at Mt. View.
The first burial at McCool was on October 4, 1869.
Thereafter, because the original downtown cemetery was full and overcrowded and no further burials were made there, burials at McCool were referred to as being at St. Patrick's, since that was the new and only burial ground for new graves for St. Patrick's Parish.
