[1] There have been multiple cases of vandalism in McPherson Cemetery.

The most notable example is the August 2010 persistent destruction of graves and items.

Two teenagers were charged for this crime, who caused an estimated $100,000 of damage to the cemetery.

In September, after the incident, Clyde's city manager Paul Fiser said that "the cemetery [was] 95 percent back to normal, thanks to the hard work of the parks and cemetery department.

No more than three items are allowed to be donated to a gravestone, unless they are not placed on the grass.
