John Schmotzer Mausoleum, St. Michael’s Cemetery

This is the only mausoleum in the cemetery, a typical small rusticated-stone mausoleum. Originally it would have had bronze doors, but those are usually stolen from an unguarded cemetery and sold to scrap dealers who obviously have no idea where two men with a pickup truck might have got a large door-shaped chunk of bronze.
