Officially St Joseph Cemetery. But known to locals as Old St Joseph Cemetery and also as the German St Joseph Cemetery. (Versus the New St Joseph or the Irish St Joseph Cemetery, which is close to it).
Located in the suburb town of Price Hill, Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio.
Saint Joseph Cemetery, located at the intersection of West Eighth Street and Seton Avenue in Price Hill, was consecrated as a German Catholic cemetery in 1843. The majority of names on the stones are German, and several of the older monuments are contain only German. Both of these facts attest to the large German population in Cincinnati and Price Hill in particular. In addition to the older sections filled with ornate monuments, Old St. Joseph contains a newer section filled primarily with flat foot-stones.
