A curiously shaped rustic mausoleum with Gothic pilasters that seem a little like an afterthought. As we have mentioned elsewhere, all the mausoleums in the South Side Cemetery are missing their doors.

William H. Martz Stump, South Side Cemetery
In a different section of the cemetery, William H. Martz ended up under exactly the same stump as Annie R. Smith.

Lanz Mausoleum, South Side Cemetery
A small rustic temple with smooth Doric columns and a cross. All the mausoleums in the South Side Cemetery are bricked up like this; probably they all had bronze doors, and every one has been stolen.

Annie R. Smith Stump, South Side Cemetery
A somewhat cartoonish stump from late in the popularity of the rustic genre. The base gives us callas, ferns, and ivy that continues up the stump.
-
Homann Stump, South Side Cemetery
A large rustic stump with an open book that bears the names of Charles, Otto, and Julie Homann. There is room for many more names in the book, and the section of peeled-away bark on the stump was never used. Two small rustic headstones mark individual graves; Otto died in 1902, and the inscription on the other headstone is not easily legible.
