Other information. Holy Ghost survived two divisions. The first came in 1843, when Pastor George Wall left to form the German Evangelical Congregation of St. Louis, a single congregation with two locations that later became St. Marcus and St. Peter’s Churches. The second came in 1856, when Pastor Fredrick (Franz) Picker founded the Independent German Evangelical Protestant Church (now known as Christ the King United Church of Christ).
Cemetery: Holy Ghost Cemetery was founded near Arsenal and Gravois in 1846. The last burial took place in 1901. When the cemetery was closed by city order in 1917, graves were removed to St. Marcus, Zion Evangelical, Bellefontaine, St. Peter’s and Independent German Evangelical (now Gatewood Gardens) Cemeteries.
