Holy Cross Cemetery (Old Catholic Cemetery) The following information was obtained from a booklet titled "Old Tombstone Records in Gallatin County, Montana Cemeteries 1957. It was compiled in 1955-1956 and 1957 by the Montana Hyalite Chapter Daughters of American Revolution. I was kindly given permission to transcribe their records and submit them for free public use. The Holy Cross Cemetery is located on highway #10 at the West outskirts of Bozeman. The cemetery was established in 1890 and the last burials were in the late 1920's. This cemetery is not in use and burials are now made at the new cemetery adjoining Protestant Sun Set Hills, East of Bozeman. The new Catholic cemetery is called the Bozeman Holy Rosary Catholic Cemetery. Some bodies have been moved from the old cemetery to the new cemetery. Some fine stones and iron fences are still standing, also many illegible wooden markers and funeral markers. No effort is made to put these names in alphabetical order as names may have more meaning if not done so.
