He was residing at St. Agatha till the latter part of 1866, when he moved to Berlin./ In March, 1865, Father Nicolaus Sorg gave a mission here and blessed the cemetery. John Dopp helped to carry the cross to the cemetery and helped to erect it there. A week later he died suddenly and was the first to be buried there by Father Rassaerts on March 25, 1865."

Theresa Walsh heard this story from her cousin, who heard it from his mother. John was a stonemason and builder. One job he was not paid for, so he went to see the man at the hotel. They argued and left together. When the hotel closed, John's body was found in the street. According to his obituary, he helped raise the new cross in the new Catholic cemetery. He didn't realize he would be the first laid to rest there.
