Head south out of downtown Millersburg on Clay Street on any given day, especially sunny ones after school or during summer, and you're likely to see activity at the Clay Street Park just south of the Faith Lutheran Church. There's normally a few teenagers playing basketball there or some kids hanging out on the swings. Every once in a while, a church group will gather to host a party for anyone who happens by, offering free pizza or grilled hot dogs. And, sometimes, you'll see area youth groups milling around picking up trash.

But, no matter the season, day or time, no matter the weather, rain or shine, there's always one person present in Clay Street Park, though you probably won't notice him. Many longtime Holmes County residents don't even know he's there. But at least once per year, near the end of May, he receives a group of visitors who honor him, pay him tribute. As a matter of fact, at one time Clay Street Park was named after him, back when it was known as Peter Myers Park. But that was a long time ago, before most people in Holmes County were even born.



The cemetery is located in Hardy Township, Holmes County, Ohio, and is # 5580 (Millersburg City Park Cemetery) in "Ohio Cemeteries 1803-2003", compiled by the Ohio Genealogical Society.
