1908 Mirror Lake West Lawn Cemetery Canton Ohio Unposted

Step back in time to 1908 with this serene view of Mirror Lake, nestled within the peaceful grounds of West Lawn Cemetery in Canton, Ohio. In the background, you can just make out the stately silhouette of the McKinley Memorial, standing watch over the landscape like a guardian of history.

This memorial, dedicated to President William McKinley after his tragic assassination in 1901, was completed just a few years before this postcard was printed, making it a relatively new addition to the scenery at the time. The monument itself is an enduring symbol of the nation's reverence for the 25th President, who spent much of his life in Canton.

This unposted postcard captures the quiet beauty of a simpler era, where reflection by the lake and Sunday strolls through garden-like cemeteries were part of daily life. The delicate coloration and early 20th-century printing style transport you right back to a time when messages were handwritten and postage cost just a penny.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
