Madison County MsArchives Cemeteries.....Canton Cemetery Surnames S ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/ms/msfiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Pat Wellington Pwellin@prodigy.net (email not valid as of Oct 2021) Location: This cemetery is located on Lyon Street, between Fulton and Academy Streets, Canton, Madison County, Mississippi. Description: It is very large, well kept cemetery with the earliest date of 1777 to present. It seems to have been the original cemetery for the town. Although the "new" cemetery was opened about 1853, the "old" one continued to be used almost until the end of the century. Many stones have disappeared, and there are countless unmarked graves. There are thirty-four graves with stones broken, unmarked, or otherwise illegible. There is a large old Jewish section in the south east corner. The cemetery is used by people from all over Madison County, and has a Confederate Soldiers Section with about two hundred names listed. A number of years ago, the cemetery was saved from complete destruction through the efforts of Doctor John B. Howell, Sr. In the center of the cemetery square is a marker which reads: "In memory of those who sleep in unmarked graves. Erected by Dr. John B. Howell." Thanks to Patrick Harrison (hamlet@flash.net) for transcribing some of the headstones. For name searches of this index, use the "Find" or "Search" feature of your browser.
