Old St. John Cemetery ~ Middletown, Connecticut

Headstones Inscribed with the Place of Origin in

St. John Church was built in 1844 for the growing Irish Catholic population. By 1850 the congregation had outgrown the small house of worship. Efforts to raise funds for a new church included an offer of burial plots to parishioners who donated $20.00 towards the building fund. All the plots were quickly taken and the cemetery was laid out on the north side of the church. In 1934, a list of headstone inscriptions for Middletown was copied under the auspices of F.E.R.A. and the W.P.A., sponsored by the Connecticut State Library, and compiled under

the supervision of Charles R. Hale. The Headstone Inscriptions: Town of Middletown, Connecticut includes the complete transcriptions of the headstones in Old St. John Cemetery and are available on microfilm and

hardcopy in the library’s local history collection (MIDDRM 974.66 HAL).

The following list serves as a name index to the headstones in Old St. John Cemetery that were inscribed with places of origin in Ireland.
