Sharing scenes from a recent but short visit to the Saint Anthony Cemetery, which is adjacent to the Milan Cemetery in Milan, Erie County, Ohio.
This is not a large cemetery but one where a visitor can easily enjoy an interesting time touring the almost hidden away grounds. Be sure to stop and read the plaques, and markers; and reflect upon the awe-inspiring beautiful religious statues and towering Crucifix that make Saint Anthony Cemetery distinctly remarkable.
There is only one mausoleum at the Saint Anthony Cemetery and it is a prominent one erected for the Fries, Roberts, and Taylor families who are resting in peace in this majestic looking domed structure that one would normally expect to find in a much larger cemetery.
On my visit, I quickly realized though that the mausoleum was spared by just a few feet from being seriously damaged by a large tree limb that had come down during a recent storm that had not yet been cleared away from the area.
