The Cresson Family Tomb in St. Louis No. 3

The Original Cemeteries

Whenever someone uses the word "original" in conjunction with New Orleans, they're usually referring to the French Quarter, the original part of the city. The cemeteries that serviced the Vieux Carre' were not located within the confines of  the Quarter, of course (cemeteries are almost always built on the outskirts of town), but in Faubourg Treme, just north of the original northern wall that is now N. Rampart St. St. Louis Number Two is located a few blocks behind Number One, on Conti and Claiborne. St. Louis Number Three is over on Esplanade,
