In a time when most cemeteries were racially segregated, Washington Park Cemetery was founded by businessmen Andrew Henry Watson and Joseph John Hauer as a for-profit burial place for African Americans. It became the largest African American cemetery in the St. Louis area—approximately 44,000 individuals are buried there.
Located in the City of Berkeley, Missouri, the cemetery was established in 1920 in an area that was then unincorporated St. Louis County.
We now own a multi-volume book set that reproduces lot cards for Washington Park Cemetery in (mostly) alphabetical order by surname. Below is a finding aid for the volumes in that book set. If you would like us to check for a particular individual, you can call us at 314241-2288 or email us at webref@slpl.org. Cards typically provide:
