This project is for those who are buried in St. Joseph's Cemetery, West Peoria, Illinois.
One of the oldest cemeteries in Peoria, founded in 1865, was originally nine acres.
Acreage was added to the Cemetery in 1873, 1877 and again in 1934 to form its present size of approximately 25 acres.
The original use was for families of German descent. However, members of the Lebanese community have also chosen St. Joseph's Cemetery; as have
The Religious Sisters of the 3rd Order of St. Francis and the Franciscan Fathers serving Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Peoria.
