St. Lawrence Cemetery, the third Catholic cemetery established in Charleston, South Carolina, was the initiative of Ignatius Reynolds, second bishop of Charleston. Prior to establishing St. Lawrence Cemetery, interments were either at St. Mary of the Annunciation burial ground, established in 1793, or St. Patrick burial ground, often referred to as the Catholic burial ground, established in 1831. Due to overcrowding, Bishop Reynolds purchased approximately eighteen acres of land from Edward Tharin for the sum of $2,500 in 1851. The property was part of a farmland formerly known as Magnolia Farm. It was bound by Magnolia Cemetery, Magnolia Parade Ground, the Cooper River, and Lee Street. Reynolds opened St. Lawrence Cemetery in 1854 - Charleston South Carolina -
