In Canton, on the east side of Washington Street and Randolph Street is St. Mary's Cemetery.

This cemetery is on flat terrain and the roads are laid out squarely. At the time, I thought that there was the one lot at the corner. An electronic map showed a second portion to the east, which was confirmed by a view on Google Earth. The pictures that I have are all on the corner lot.

There are many monuments of varying designs and dimensions. Some are tall, thin monuments of one or a few names, others are family plots. There is a web site that has a map of plots (corner lot only). The site lists 1219 plots - not sure if these are all occupied or if some of them are prepurchased. The cemetery sign at the corner has a date of 1847.
