    Biographical / Historical

    Bethlehem Lutheran Cemetery (Old Bethlehem Cemetery) located in Baden, Missouri at the corner of Bittner and Switzer Avenues from about 1849 until the 1960s. The cemetery fell out of regular use after about 1920 and became over grown with weeds and had many gravestones toppled over. Due to the lack of endowment funds to care for this cemetery, the church removed all the graves. Most were moved to its new and larger cemetery at 9650 Bellefontaine Road in St. Louis County.
