This little cemetery sits not far from the St. Fidelis Cemetery. On one side of the cross are the names of the adults and the other side names of children. No dates are given and there are no individual headstones.

Crosses everywhere
St. Fidelis Cemetery
Victoria, KS
This picture barely shows the vast number of crosses in this catholic cemetery. When I stepped out of the car it almost took my breath away. There is much craftmanship and beauty in this small rural cemetery. There are some I will feature individually in future blogs.
The newer burials are in the back portion of the cemetery so from the roadside you see all of these ornate crosses and other unique headstones. I had a hard time taking a cemetery walk. I wanted to run to each one so that I had time to see them all.

Sad Cemetery Walk
Union Pacific RR Cemetery
Victoria, KS
.
This was a sad cemetery walk. All buried here died of murder or sickness.
.
.
This cemetery was established to bury the bodies of 6 railroad workers massacred by the Cheyenne Indians in August 1867.

P. S. Ashley, foreman from Wisconsin
Thomas Carney from Iowa
Charles Watson from Canada
John Harrington from Kansas City
Pat Rafferty from Kansas City
Hugh McDonaugh from Denver

In the summer of 1873 four Seth siblings were laid to rest here. The stone erected in 2008 tells their sad family story of how they contracted typhoid fever while traveling to join the Victoria Colony. Their mother was laid to rest in St. Louis and these four died after arriving to Victoria. They were survived by the father and 3 brothers.
