I guess I was the only one in the family to talk to my grandfather about his mother as no one else knew about the vault. I recently revisited and some of the artifacts are now gone (hadn't been there since before Katrina) so I took the small granite marker in front of the crypt to try to freshen up the name & make it legible. In bringing it to my father, he and I discussed the burial plot of my grandmother's family and he gave me the titles to the plot(s) at St. Vincent's #1. I have the antiquated and original certificate which was re-drawn in 1979 and it tells me of the location (Square B, Section II, Lot 5 facing St. Agnes Avenue???). St. Agnes must have changed over the years. I see you have identified 17 from St. Vincent's but I don't see anything on "Vollenweider". Dad remembers a coping with the family name on it. I'd love to visit but I know St. Vincent isn't anywhere as safe and kept as the Masonic. What can you tell me? Would the police escort me there???
