Campo Santo
Burial ground off Refugio Highway (not accessible to public)Situated on headright of an 1829 settler, Jeremiah O'Toole, ~ from New York. The isolated oak log
home of O'Toole stood on San Patricio-La Bahia Road; his family fled repeatedly from H Indians or invading armies. In
time other pioneers built homes nearby in Corrigan settlement (named for O'Toole's son-in-law). Community is now
extinct. Ten acres were donated in 1871 by Ellen O'Toole Corrigan and brother, Martin, as site for ~ Sacred Heart of
Jesus Church (now razed) and grounds. This cemetery is a reminder of the courageous pioneer settlers.
