St. Columbkille Cemetery - A Brief History
The property encompassing the original St. Columbkille Church and Cemetery was donated by Mrs McCarty, Mr. John Johnson, and Mr. John Ganey I. In 1850, a log church, St. Columbkille was built. In those days, Masses were celebrated as they could be scheduled by the Redemptorist Fathers, who traveled there on horseback from St. Joseph Seminary in Kirkwood, Missouri.
