The location is on the south-west edge of Parkersburg. The first resident pastor of the Parkersburg St. Patrick's Catholic Church was D.J. Kelly in 1889. On February 18,1937 the Articles of Incorporation for the St. Patrick's Cemetery Association were composed and filed. The cemetery is divided by a drive going from east to west. In the following pages the south section is numbered with a roman numeral "I" and the north section with a 'II". You will find each lot numbered from 1 to 108. Also found with this cemetery is a copy of the deed from the Butler County Court House for the purchase of the land in 1886.
