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.

Early settlers arrived in Volcano in 1848. At that time, people who died were buried at Graveyard Hill. In 1852, the day after Christmas, the hillside collapsed and all of the remains that were found where reburied in the cemetery at the new church, the Methodist Episcopal.

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.
