About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Saint William's Parish was founded in 1920 by Archbishop Dennis Dougherty, who appointed Reverend William A. Motley to establish a church to serve the rapidly growing areas in Lower Northeast Philadelphia. A church was built in 1921 and a second church in 1927.

Father Motley died in 1928 and was buried on the church grounds. In 1955, a new church replaced the 1927 church, and in 1967 a new rectory was built. Father Motley's grave now rests in the garden between the two structures.
