Nice finds! To my eye the first three specimens appear to be rugose corals.

 

For future reference it would be helpful if you

numbered the specimens. It would make them easier to reference individually in the comments and would lessen potential confusion as to what photographs pertain to which specimens. ;)

Most specimens shown are rugosa coral typical of  the local Devonian of the area. The first is a cross section through one. The second is a typical rugosa found in recently exposed rocks. The third is a water or weather worn rugosa, very typical of those found on the lake shore.
