William H. Walker (1841-1904) had his portrait rendered in stained glass for the back of his mausoleum, which is the sort of thing you can do if you have the money to put up a large Ionic mausoleum like this one.

Walker Mausoleum, Union Dale Cemetery

Robert Carson Mausoleum, Union Dale Cemetery
A sturdy-looking Doric mausoleum built in 1895. It looks even sturdier because the entrance, where there were probably once bronze doors, has been filled in with concrete.
-
Monument for a Child, Union Dale Cemetery
The monument is eroding and the inscription has become illegible, as is the common fate of expensive marble monuments from the middle 1800s. We must admit, though, that the effect of the decay is very picturesque.
-
Lang Monument and Family Plot, Union Dale Cemetery
A tasteful Doric monument with a big blank canvas for inscriptions that was never used; instead, George and Caroline Lang have their inscriptions on their own individual resting places. The monument looks as though it may be newer than the graves themselves.
-
Schreiner Mausoleum, Union Dale Cemetery
A huge and opulent Ionic mausoleum crowned by a cupola on which stands a figure of Hope shaking her fist at heaven. At least that is how it has always looked to old Pa Pitt. The Schreiners must have had quite a lot of money, but they have left few other obvious historical traces of themselves.
