Cape Girardeau, Missouri Then and Now
These are photo's of a few places in Cape Girardeau. What it looked like 1901 - 1979 and then today. I think it is sad to lose such historic places or tear them down for parking space. I want to see more buildings with character and less of the boring buildings. I DO NOT MAKE A DIME OFF OF THIS VIDEO. I do not own the music or pictures in this video. I mean nothing but respect to the people who have taken these photos. Unfortunately I was not alive when most of these building were standing or these pictures were taken. My only intention is to inspire curiosity and spark another's interest in history the way each of these sources has inspired me.

Exploring the Historic Old Lorimer Cemetery - Cape Girardeau, Missouri
Old Lorimier Cemetery was established in 1808 by Louis Lorimier. The location of the cemetery is 500 North Fountain Street. There is believed to be more than 6,500 burials in the cemetery, most being unmarked. A sidewalk serves as a north - south dividing line in the cemetery. It is said that Catholics are buried on the south and Protestants are buried on the north. The east slope is believed to be the burial grounds of African-American persons. It has been recorded that as many as 1,200 soldiers from the Civil War were buried there. Old Lorimier Cemetery was established in 1808 on a five acre plot of land atop a hill that was set aside by Louis Lorimier as the first public cemetery, upon the death of his wife Charlotte. This area was just outside what was at the time the north city boundary of Cape Girardeau. The cemetery is actually 5.47 acres measuring 661 feet east west by 316 feet north south.
There are many early settlers and persons who built and shaped the community interred within the grounds of the cemetery. Persons of many nationalities are buried in the cemetery besides those born in the United States, some being born in Germany, Canada, England, Wales, France, Scotland, Ireland, Italy and the West Indies. Inscriptions on the monuments are in English, Latin, German and French. There are no Spanish inscriptions.
There are about 1250 gravestones marking burials at the cemetery. It is thought that there are more than 6500 burials in the cemetery. A grave space occupies up to 24 square feet of ground and there is over 208,000 square feet in the cemetery grounds. There appears to be no real order to the burials, meaning no rows were set or pattern to follow for burial, it is believed that all available space was used and thus the actual number of persons interred there can never be known.
The cemetery was originally sectioned by religious affiliation and race. Protestants were interred in the east area while Catholics were interred in the west area. The concrete arch with a cross atop is the marker showing the divide. It is believed blacks were interred on the eastern slope of the cemetery, though it has been found through records available that persons of color were buried on the eastern and southern edges of the cemetery grounds. This was done by comparing burial records with monuments in place on the grounds.
Any known burial records for the cemetery were destroyed in a fire at the Common Pleas Courthouse years ago. Many attempts have and are still being made to find and list the names of persons buried in the cemetery, but information is very difficult to find and location of any of these will not be possible. The information we do have was gathered by the Cape County Genealogy Society and through the Historic Preservation Department at Southeast Missouri State University.
It is believed that there were 1200 soldiers from the Civil War buried in the cemetery. Along with these are persons who died during epidemics of cholera, black plaque, small pocks, influenza and yellow fever through the years of its use. It is a common thought that during the Civil War many soldiers were buried in graves containing more than one body as this was done at night so persons who sympathized with the Confederates did not know how many Union soldiers were dying.
There are a number of graves believed to have been used as mass burial sites due to deaths during epidemics as well as accidents. One such site is marked by a stone cylinder, which is located on the southeastern edge of the cemetery.
The pagoda covering the burial location of Louis and Charlotte Lorimier was erected and dedicated on August 5, 1917 by the women of the Cemetery Association and was refurbished in 1952. The stone entryways and steps on the south were built and dedicated on May 31, 1952 by the Thomas Sanford Chapter of the Daughters of the American Colonists. The concrete wall along the west side was added and dedicated in 1953. Originally the only entryway into the cemetery was via the east up the steep hill from the river side. Later accessibility was made to the cemetery eastward via Washington Street and southward via Fountain Street from Washington school.
