Spotlighting the Lake Shore Cemetery - Avon Lake, Ohio - February 23, 2020

The Lake Shore Cemetery in Avon Lake, Lorain County, Ohio is a historic gem of a cemetery with a past that is so well told in a new book by Sherry Newman Spenzer "Lake Shore Cemetery of Avon Lake" for Heritage Avon Lake published by Arcadia Publishing.

 This handy self-guided tour book serves to better acquaint a visitor with all of the unique features the cemetery has to offer.  It provides the reader with a greater understanding of its role as an important place in the community.  It goes beyond giving us a glimpse into the lives of those who rest in peace on its lake side landscape -- it makes their stories vibrantly come alive from their time to ours!
