St. Marys Cemetery is a cemetery located in St. Marys, Ontario. It is most notable for being the burial place of Canadian Prime Minister Arthur Meighen.[1] Opened in 1885 to relieve the full Protestant Cemetery, it is the resting place for Protestants in the area. A few plots were relocated to this cemetery from the old, which has since become a park.
Other notables buried here:
- George Graham, victim of the RMS Titanic disaster in 1912
- James Brine of the Tolpuddle Martyrs
