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.

1805: Canton, Ohio's first public graveyard was known as Plum Street Cemetery, located along Plum Street (now McKinley Avenue) and South Street (now 5th Street South).

1897: As Canton grew, the need for city property increased. Canton converted Plum Street Cemetery into a city park. There were an estimated 200 graves at the time. A few were moved, but most were covered with dirt, trees were planted and McKinley Park, aka McKinley Park Cemetery, replaced Plum Street Cemetery.

The cemetery is located in Canton Township, Stark County, Ohio, and is listed as #11281 (McKinley Park Cemetery / Myers Cemetery / Plum Street Cemetery / Wells Cemetery) in "Ohio Cemeteries 1803-2003", compiled by the Ohio Genealogical Society.
