A beautiful abstract classical memorial that reminds old Pa Pitt of middle-twentieth-century cartoons of heaven. The most recent inscription remembers Marian Becker Cummins, who died in 2017 at the age of 101.

Becker Monument, Mount Lebanon Cemetery

H. P. Sloterbeck Mausoleum, Allegheny Cemetery
A Doric mausoleum with rusticated stone: a very common sort of design, but very dignified, and much more picturesque when we add autumn leaves. The stained glass inside is a standard design from the catalogue.
-
Brooks Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
A typical Doric cube of the early twentieth century. The stained glass is rather good. Charles A. Brooks was interred here in 1906, and Anna Cloyde Woodward Brooks in 1931; according to cemetery records, they are the only residents.
-
Weil Mausoleum, West View Cemetery
A simple Doric design whose severity is moderated by a Greek-key decoration.

Theo Huckestein Mausoleum, St. Mary’s Cemetery, Ross Township
Presumably “Theo” is an abbreviation for Theodore, though it could also be Theobald or Theophilus. This is a standard rusticated Doric mausoleum with a good Sacred Heart window.
