The Art and Architecture of Death

We have featured this mausoleum before, but surrounded by the splendor of fresh June greenery it makes a very attractive picture.

Jacob Minsinger Monument

A substantial classical monument that may date from 1933, when Jacob Minsinger was buried (under a separate ledger); but the style suggests that it could be older, and might have been bought while Jacob was alive in anticipation of the eventual need for it.

Robb monument

A tasteful obelisk with a simple classical base. The stark Gothic letters of the inscription are typical of the era.
