Saint Joseph Cemetery

Saint Joseph Cemetery is one of three cemeteries of Saint Joseph. Many people buried here were victims of yellow fever, which plagued the city throughout July and August 1841, causing its depopulation and abandonment. Brought into port by sailing ship from the Greater Antilles, the disease spared neither rich nor poor. Many prominent territorial Florida statesmen, journalists, and merchants died here, and no markers remain for those buried in trenches.
