Sacred Heart Catholic Cemetery

aka Reilly Ridge Cemetery, St. Ignatius Cemetery

1400-1406 Stanley Avenue, Lawler, IA 52154

This page is a "re-transcription" of data from three sources: a complete photo survey taken in August 2019, a 1988 listing of burials transcribed in 2019, and the WPA survey of graves in the 1930s. There are now gravestone photos of all existing gravestones on the Iowa Gravestone Photo Project (IGPP).

We are extremely grateful to Warren County Coordinator Karon Velau and Hancock County Coordinator LaVerne Velau for traveling to Chickasaw County to conduct this complete photo survey, and to Karon again for her transcription of the 1988 listing. The hardcopy can be found at the Iowa Genealogical Society Library in Des Moines. This is now a complete listing of all known burials in this cemetery.
