Tolomato CemeteryTolomato Cemetery has a 200 year history in St Augustine. It was originally a Franciscan mission village for Guale Indians from Georgia, known as Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de Tolomato. Later it was the first burial site of the Minorcans who arrived in Saint Augustine with their priest, Fr Pedro Camps, in 1777. Finally, it was the parish cemetery for the Cathedral from 1784 until 1884, when all cemeteries within the St Augustine city limits were closed because of fears of yellow fever. |
