Home / US Cemeteries / South Dakota / Lawrence County / St Ambrose [6]

Deadwood SD's "other" cemetery, this place resides on a steep hillside south of town and appears to be frequently overlooked amongst all the tours in the resort/gambling town. Catholic, lots of Irish surnames, dates to about 1879 - we saw one reasonably recent interment there, but it appears to be mainly historic. Elegant and affecting place, a few plots eroding badly on the steeper sides of the cemetery, and unlike it's better known counterpart, Mt Moriah, appears to be seldom visited by the tourists.
