Consecrated on 1857 by the Most Rev. John Martin Henni, first archbishop of Milwaukee, Calvary Cemetery is the final resting place for more than 300 Union Civil War veterans including two Medal of Honor recipients: Boatswain's Mate John Breen, USS Commodore Perry (Block 5A) and 1st Lt. Edward McGinn, 54th Ohio Infantry Regiment (Block 20). Also interred here are veterans of many other armed conflicts beginning with the Mexican-American War.
