Ashland Cemetery in St. Joseph, Missouri, is a significant historical site that began as two separate cemeteries, Ashland and Oakland, both established in 1869. Originally founded by local churches, these cemeteries served as public burial grounds for the community. In 1913, Oakland Cemetery was sold to the Ashland Association, merging the two sites into a single cemetery, though records for Oakland were largely lost. Located on Ashland Avenue, the cemetery holds the graves of notable locals and serves as an important genealogical resource for families with roots in St. Joseph. The cemetery is known for its extensive history, with many graves from the 19th and early 20th centuries, offering insight into the area’s past and its evolving community.
