The New Cathedral Cemetery, formerly Bonnie Brae Cemetery, is a Roman Catholic cemetery, with 125 acres, located on the westside of Baltimore, Maryland, at 4300 Old Frederick Road. It is the final resting place of 110,000 people, including numerous individuals who played important roles in Maryland history.
History
[edit]New Cathedral Cemetery was begun in 1869. It didn't open until 1871, replacing Cathedral Cemetery (established in 1816), which moved its burials to the new cemetery.[1][2][3] The Bonnie Brae estate was purchased from Captain Charles McBlair to establish the new cemetery. For a time, the new cemetery was called the Bonnie Brae Cemetery.[3] Burials were transferred from the old cemetery to the new cemetery between 1877 and 1890. The cemetery was originally 40–50 acres, but, as of 2011, had expanded to 122 acres (49 ha).[3]
As of 2018, the cemetery is 125 acres (51 ha).[4]
Interments
[edit]The cemetery is the final resting place of 100,000 people.[4] contains several players from the Baltimore Orioles, including four members of the Baseball Hall of Fame: John McGraw, Joseph Kelley, Ned Hanlon, and Wilbert Robinson.[5][6] It is believed that no other cemetery has so many Hall of Famers.[4]
