Mount Mora Cemetery

Notes:
Mount Mora Cemetery, established in 1851, is the oldest operating cemetery in Saint Joseph, Missouri. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is an interpretive site of The St. Joseph Museums, Inc. Mount Mora was once the most fashionable burial place for many of St. Joseph's wealthy and powerful citizens. The boom years of the post Civil War period, known as St. Joseph's "Golden Age" gave rise to the building of some of the finest residential architecture in the Midwest, and to some of the finest tomb architecture as well.

On the northwest face of this monument can be seen the name NORMAN whose family is also inscribed on the northeast face. Mr. Norman was his business partner in the Noyes, Norman Shoe Co. Mr. Norman, his wife, daughters and son-in-laws are all buried there right by the Noyes family. They must have been very close business partners to be buried together and share a monument. Mr. Norman even named his daughter Mae Noyes in honor of Charles and Sarepta. Mae later married a Bartlett and is buried in the same lot.
