Mount Calvary/Prairie City Cemetery Transcription
Mount Calvary/Prarie City Cemetery

Photographed and transcribed by Jane Owens and Johnna Quick 12 August, 2004 

We drove to Baldwin City, Kansas on the off chance that I might locate 
my GGGGrandfather Arcene Jardon's grave there.  Luck was on our side.  
I not only located him but his parents as well, along with his 
brother.  This cemetery was so amazing, so I am also including pictures 
of some of the beautiful monuments.  The complete transcription is 
below the photos.



Baldwin City, Douglas County, Kansas



     




          

          


     
Monument for Xavier and Elese Jardon




Xavier Jardon
Born in France
4-30-1822  11-8-1890



Elese Jardon
Born in Switzerland
4-13-1829  9-26-1912 

    


Monument for Celestin and Francis Jardon



Celestin Jardon
Born 11-10-1818
Died 9-27-1863
Aged 44 years 9 months 17 days
**Celestin Jardon was the first person buried at Mt. Calvary Cemetery**



Francis wife of C Jardon
Born 4-16-1818
Died 1-9-1889
Aged 71 years 8 months 24 days
May they rest in peace

*Celestin and Francis are the parents of Arcene Jardon and my GGGGGrandparents*




This is the original headstone for Celestin Jardon.  
It reads the same as the larger monument



Arsine Jordon *should be Arcene Jardon*
Company D
12th Kansas Infantry



Harriett E.
Wife of Arcene Jardon
Born in Salisbury Connecticut
July 21, 1853
October 6, 1916

Her footstone reads: Our Darling Mother

This is the headstone of Harriett E. Jardon.  Arcene Jardon's wife.
She is not buried in Mt. Calvary.  She is buried in Maple Hill Cemetery
Wyandotte County, Kansas.  When facing Arcene's grave to the right 
there are several empty plots beside him.  I believe he planned on his 
family being buried beside him.  So I decided to go ahead and reunite 
Arcene and Harriett even if it is only on a website.
