Hughey Monument, Mount Lebanon Cemetery
Joseph and Mary Hughey’s descendants must have no trouble at all finding their graves. This immense stone has the most extravagant foliage decoration in the cemetery.

Urn, Mount Lebanon Cemetery
This urn bears no markings, or at least none that old Pa Pitt could find. It is picturesque in its way, whether it marks a grave or whether it is just a landscape decoration.
-
Mount Lebanon Cemetery Office
This fine vernacular-Gothic house serves as the gatehouse and office for the Mount Lebanon Cemetery, which was founded in 1901. It’s charmingly out of place in its neighborhood, which is a later development where most of the houses date from after the First World War.

Soffel Mausoleum, Mount Lebanon Cemetery
A rustic mausoleum with smooth Doric columns; doubtless a dealer’s standard model, but attractive and dignified.
