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.

In downtown Syracuse, NY. The former inner-city park is now a parking lot.

Listings are taken from data obtained from the Onondaga County Public Library. An 8-months-old boy is considered to have been the first burial in 1820, the last burial was in 1847.
On August 20, 1841 a large explosion occurred on a boat in the Erie Canal in the village of Syracuse, killing 26 people. Some of whom were buried in this cemetery, e.g. Mathew Smelt and Isaac Stanton.
