Mount Calvary-Saint John’s Roman Catholic was Est. 1845, deeded 6 January 1845. Owned by Saint John’s Roman Catholic Church, Lockport. Restoration under direction of Jeff Degnan. Civil War
burials are also common throughout the 2-3 acres. Alot of people are not
aware of this cemetery and we believe that it is so vandalized and poorly
maintained that even the ghost have packed their ectoplasm and left haha.
Most of the burials here are Irish descent.
The cemetery sits up on a small hill and in the last 2 years this so far has turned out to be the most vandalized cemetery I ever seen. Stones are crumbled in piles, moved around, split in half, leading, buried in the ground, buried in some bushes, leading against trees, mixed in with other stones and truly it is in poor shape. The town plans on restoration and it seems that their is actually 2 cemeteries here but they were combined. The reason how I know this is the stone borderline halfway in the cemetery cutting it in half and the name of it. I do believe that some of the burials that are here were from the Summit Mansion so as you can see in a way they are connected. Even if they are not it is possible that the slaves were buried here that may have been abused and if not that the locals at one point were living when they seen the summit mansion when it was in its prime. So alot of interesting history here. We took a ton of photography and so far have not gotten much but none the less it does not make it any less foreboding or haunted.
