WISCONSIN
SPIRIT QUEST
"St. John the Baptist
Cemetery"
Welcome to St. John the
Baptist Cemetery in Door County.
Thomas (Blackjack) and William (Redjack) Carmody came to the Egg
Harbor area in 1857 settling three miles South of the Village. The
two families with fifteen children all told, formed the nucleus of
a settlement later known as Sunny Point.
French Canadian families began to arrive in the Egg Harbor area
in 1865. In 1878 the first church (St. John’s) was built on
the Northeast corner of this cemetery, two and one half miles South
of the Village of Egg Harbor.
Father B. Hugenroth at St. Peter & Pauls, Institute, began
working with the St. John's Parish in the year of 1888. The
congregation had now outgrown the small log church.
A new Catholic Church, 30' by 40', was built across the road and
finished Nov. 2, 1888. The carpenters received $300.00 for their
conscientious work.
There are some unusual and very old headstones located at
this cemetery. And please remember, if there are people visiting a
loved one, you might try again at a different time.
PLEASE FOLLOW ANY POSTED VISITING HOURS, RESPECT THE
RESIDENTS HERE AND VISIT DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS
