ST. ANDREW - ON - HUDSON
[Special thanks to (Rev.) Robert W. Dahlke, S.J.
for his assistance with background information
presented here,
including definitions ,
as well a providing me with the Link for New
York Jesuit History]
In 1970 the Culinary Institute of America Purchased
the 80 Arcre
St. Andrew-on-Hudson Jesuit (Society of Jesus)
seminary site in Hyde Park, NY for $1 Million and
two years later
after extensive renovation the CIA opened its new
campus,
with the Main Building being renamed Roth Hall.
This page is dedicated to the Jesuit Cemetery located on this site.
New York JESUIT
History Site
Below is a brief quote from a former New York JESUIT History Web Site
[http://www.nysj.org/history/province_history.asp] regarding St. Andrew-On-Hudson.
Unfortunately [this site had much information on Jesuit History] this link from 2002 is no longer valid.
If anyone can provide me with a similar/new Link, I would be most grateful and would link to the site from this page!
"If the last years of the 19th Century were quiet ones
for the New York Jesuits,
the new century came roaring in on the winds of change.
Fr. Purbrick, a visitor
and provincial from 1897 to 1901, acquired property
and laid plans to erect an
imposing new novitiate on a bluff overlooking the
Hudson at Hyde Park, N. Y.
In 1903 all the novices left their historic quarters
in Frederick, MD. and
moved into the new St. Andrew-on-Hudson which for
the next sixty years would
be a major training ground for the Jesuits of the
East Coast."

Jesuit Cemetery
This Cemetery Appears to have roughly about 350 – 400 burials/stones.
This Cemetery is within a locked and gated area on the premises of
the Culinary Institute of America,
the key may be obtained from the Safety Office upon giving the Officer
the appropriate ID.
Cemetery appears to be no longer in use with the exception of the
Ryan Mausoleum contained within in it. However, it appears
to be well maintained.
Earliest Grave Noted on My Visit – September 1, 2002
Joannes Boy(?) S J Coad J Temp
Natus 24 Nov 1819
No Ingression Date
Obiit 19 July 1877
Latest Grave Noted September 1, 2002
Henricus J. Neill SJ Coad
Natus 5 Jun 1888
Ingression 24 Dec. 1931
Obiit 18 Jan 1967
The following is a list of inscriptions I copied September 1, 2002
These are all from stones in the Second Row as you enter from the
Gate and are to the right of the center grassy area.
The Inscriptions in this Row were copied from each stone
Working from the Right Side of the Cemetery towards
The Center Grassy Area.
There will be three dates for each stone
Natus, Ingression, Obiit
These dates are
Birth, Date of Entry into the Society of Jesus, Death.
Definitions of Letters and words associated with these Transcriptions:
SJ = Society of Jesus
Coad = Coadjutor Brother
(a man who entered the Jesuits NOT to be
ordained but rather to be a worker in the community,
perhaps an electrician, a
farmer, a plumber, a cook, etc.)
Schol = seminarian in training to be a priest.
(It is probably a good
number of years before ordination)
It is possible that the many individuals
who died in the years between 1917 - 1919
died in the great flu epidemic.
As you will see it appears that the burials were consecutive as death occurred based on the dates of death (Obiit) on the stones.

Perhaps the most famous Jesuit buried here is
Father Pierre Teilhard de Chardin,
For more information on the life and work of Father Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
the paleontologist, theologian, and author. He had been on an
expedition in China in the 1920s, and helped discover some of the
early
fossils there. Probably his most famous book is the "Phenomenon
of Man."

At the Rear of the Cemetery on the Left is a Large RYAN
MAUSOLEUM
Thomas Fortune Ryan was a benefactor of the Jesuits.
The Ryan Burials in this Mausoleum were
originally buried in (under) the chapel of St. Andrew's, but
when
the building was sold, with most of the property, and the chapel
would no
longer be used as a chapel, the mausoleum was built in the cemetery,
to which
the Jesuits retained title. The bodies were then transferred there.
Any burials in the
mausoleum after abt. 1970-72 were direct burials, as the property
was sold at about that time.
These are the inscriptions I was able to copy by peering through
the glass on the locked doors.
There were others I was not able to copy and there appears to be
several empty Crypts
Which could be used for future entombments

Our Lady of the Way Chapel
(Immediately off Route Nine - South Entrance CIA)
Corner Stone
"1900"
| There is a burial vault associated with this Chapel. From what Ginny understands Patrick Joseph Kenedy (P.J. Kenedy and Sons were New York publishers/printers of Catholic Bibles and literature) was the finanacial sponsor of the Our Lady of The Way Chapel when the Jesuits owned the now CIA site and in exchange his family was given the exclusive use of the crypt/ mauseleum which is underneath and behind the chapel where he and members of his family are entombed. |
