Edwin Shaw Sanitarium Cemetery
Springfield Twp, Summit County, Ohio






Location: On grounds of Edwin Shaw Hospital, 1621 Flickinger Road.

History:  Established as a cemetery for tuberculosis patients who died at the sanitarium between 1915-1922.Was originally called "THE SPRINGFIELD LAKE SANATARIUM CEMETERY ON BRIAR HILL". Holds the remains of 246 men,women, and children who died from tuberculosis. Treated people from five Ohio Counties:Summit,Portage,Stark, Mahoning and Columbiana. Over time the cemetery fell into disrepair. In 1997, a project to restore the cemetery commenced. The restored cemetery was dedicated in 2004. The names Briar Hill Cemetery, Springfield Lake Sanatarium Cemetery and Edwin Shaw Cemetery are names that are associated with this cemetery.

Five of the graves have gravestones erected among the numbered markers which show burial places.
Two of the deceased are listed as ``unknown.'' Five were infants or small children. They came from Summit, Portage, Stark, Mahoning and Columbiana counties.

Five with headstones which families likely purchased include:

o Rozie Petrics, who was 25 when she died July 11, 1918. Hospital records list her as ``Rosa Maygar'' of Lisbon in Grave No. 157.
o Caspero Cambi's tombstone  written in Italian: ``Nato 6 Apr. 1892. Morto 20 Agosto 1917.'' In grave No. 105, the hospital listed him as Jasper Campo, 25, of Akron.
o ``Here Rests Lazo Milankovic,'' reads the stone for the Akron resident, who died June 6, 1919, two days after his 27th birthday. He is in grave No. 109
o Another stone, which appears to be written in a Slavic language, is broken and unreadable from years of weather wearing away the sandstone.
o The fifth, a small slab of reddish granite, states simply: ``Frank E. Hartz 1888-1918.'' The 30-year-old man was from Youngstown. He is in Grave No. 161.
