About This Resource:
Located right on the Baltimore City/Baltimore County border in the southwestern section of the city, it is also referred to as German Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery. This particular section is referred to as Violetville.
The St. Paul Cemetery that is located in Violetville had the land donated to the congregation, and many members transferred loved ones from the Druid Hill Park location to Violetville.

Both St. Paul's and Immanuel Lutheran were split off from the German Lutheran Church that had its Baltimore branch founded in 1760. The cemetery has over 923 names that were located on tombstones. Most are from the 1900's, however there are some from the 1800's as well. There is still plenty of free space available, and this cemetery is still in use today.
The cemetery was read and imaged in April 2004. The database and associated images are the copyrighted work of William E. Wilson, Jr. who generously supplied them to the Allen County Public Library for distribution to individual genealogical researchers.
About Searching This Resource:
The database doesn't store the surname separately from the first name,
so you'll have to enter your search like this:
The search engine will try to be as flexible as possible. Therefore, if Use Fuzzy Search is
set to Yes (which it is by default), the search engine will
match partial names. If you search for Smith, the engine will find
anything that has Smith in it. It would find Smith, Adam, Smithson, Ted, etc.
If you set Use Fuzzy Search to No, then searching for Smith, Adam will
only find entries whose name is exactly Smith, Adam. It will not find Smith, Adam T.
Please use the fields below to refine your search. Note that while none of
the fields are mandatory, you'll get better results if you refine your search.
Also, to keep the system running smoothly, the search will return a maximum of
1000 items.
