St. Anthony Cemetery, Milan

Crucifixion monument--the cross is the work of French native John Baptiste Verment, sculptor and architect from Massillon, Ohio. Not sure if the statues of Mary and St. John were added later.

Inscriptions on each side of the monument. Verment's name is under the "1884."

More of his work HERE.

Tomb of Fr. Leonard Lentsch, to the left of the Crucifixion monument. From a quick Google search, it appears he was a Redemptorist priest and worked in Pennsylvania parishes as well.

Gravestone of Catherine Cozzie.

Mausoleum of Roberts, Taylor, Fries family.

John Baptist Verment

From the Massillon paper, an interesting article about John Baptist Verment, architect and stone carver whose work can be found throughout Ohio. He's credited with designing St. Hedwig's in Toledo, and his carvings can be seen in cemeteries in Tiffin and Milan.

Pictured above, a crucifix he carved at St. Francis Convent, Tiffin.
