In an early post to this blog I discussed and explored the historic cemeteries of Anaconda. That work happened in 2013. When I briefly visited Upper Hill Cemetery ten years later, in 2023, I was delighted to find new markers throughout the property, identifying a Medal of Honor recipient (Thomas J. Ward who received the medal for his actions at the Vicksburg campaign during the Civil War) and locating burial plots of different fraternal lodges. I want to share some new photographs of these positive changes, which help even casual visitors to better grasp the value of the city’s historic cemeteries.

I love Anaconda’s Cemetery
I sent letters to the governor and congressman about the conditions at Mountain View Cemetery in Butte Montana especially the paupers section, it is totally a mess, my wife’s Great Grandfather Samuel P Warala is buried there and there are no markers for any of those buried in the Pauper Section, we wish something can be done to clean it up and give some respect to those who worked in the Anaconda Mine and could not afford a proper burial..
Appreciate this site
Is there a listing of the individual graves on Mt Olivet cemetery? For personal reasons, I would like to visit the graves of neighbors and friends.
whatever it costs, I’m more than happy to pay
I’m 75 years old and retired with time on my hand.
thank you
I know this is an old internet site but hopefully it’s still active.
sincerely

The site is still active with new material added this year and more planned in 2025. I do not have a listing of burials for the cemetery
