Logan Reserve Irish Catholic Cemetery
Address: 296A Logan Reserve Road, Logan Reserve
History
Irish immigrants settled in the areas of Waterford West and Logan Reserve. The first Catholic Church was located in Logan Reserve on the property of John Gavan. This bark structure was built in 1865 and also doubled as a school. It was relocated during the early 1870's and then moved again to a site in Waterford West near the Morning Star Hotel on the corner of Loganlea Road around 1877. The Leo Family who owned the hotel at that time donated the land to the Church. A cemetery evolved beside the Waterford church and remained on site until 1993. All marked graves where reinterred at the Gleneagle Cemetery on Mount Lindesay Highway.
