it's
southern side where the Main Entrance gate is. The second entrance

St. Mary's RC Church, on 46th Street, affiliated with this

is designated as an Historic Landmark dated 1873-1874. Records for
St. Mary's RC Cemetery are located at the Calvary Cemetery.
From the Catholic
Cemeteries Association website: "St. Mary Cemetery, at
45th and
Penn Avenues in the Lawrenceville section of Pittsburgh, was
incorporated in 1849, a mere six years after the founding of the
diocese. At that time, there were two parish cemeteries also in
existence: one near the first St. Patrick Church, which stood
where the
Pennsylvania Railroad Union Station was eventually built; and St.
Paul
Church at Grant Street and Fifth Avenue, which established a
parish
cemetery on Boyds Hill, near Mercy Hospital.
As of 2001, there have been 99,882 interments in St. Mary
Cemetery."
