    3. I happened up this link a long time ago and just went looking for it again so I could save it and thought I'd post it for you all. These are names of individuals who are buried at Edwin Shaw Hospital Cemetery in Springfield Twp. Summit Co. OH There are names of people from generally Summit, Stark Portage, Mahoning and Columbiana counties. So just in case you might be missing a person take a look. Never know what you might find. http://www.acorn.net/gen/edwinshaw.html It is a wonderful facility to this day treating all kinds of rehab. My grandmother spent about 8 mo there with TB when she was young and her sister spent a good deal of time there and ultimately died when she was only 20 years old from TB. Below are some photographs of the hospital, albeit a "ghostly" website, you can still see the cottages etc where the patients lived and died. http://www.deadohio.com/EdwinShaw.htm
