Tartu Baptist cemetery
Tartu's Baptist cemetery was founded in the early 20th century on the edge of the city, beside Puiestee Street and next to the old St Peter's cemetery. Baptists and Methodists bury their dead here, and many of the town's free church pastors rest among them. Here lies Jaan Paidrasson, who founded the Kolgata Baptist congregation and was its first pastor from 1911 to 1936. Paul Himma and Jüri Jürgenson, pastors of the Salem Baptist congregation, are buried here too. So is Päivo Kasekamp, pastor of the Tartu Methodist congregation from 1972 to 1987.

Tartu baptisti kalmistu rajati 20. sajandi algul linna serval Puiestee tänava äärde, kus see piirneb Vana-Peetri kalmistuga. Siia matavad oma lahkunuid baptistid ja metodistid ning siin puhkavad paljud Tartu vabakoguduste pastorid. Siia on maetud Tartu Kolgata baptistikoguduse rajaja Jaan Paidrasson, kes oli koguduse esimene pastor aastatel 1911–1936. Samal kalmistul puhkavad ka Tartu Salemi baptistikoguduse pastorid Paul Himma ja Jüri Jürgenson. Siia on maetud ka Päivo Kasekamp, kes oli aastatel 1972–1987 Tartu metodisti koguduse pastor. Kalmistu on arvele võetud kultuurimälestisena.
