  • Hill Monument, St. Mary’s Cemetery

    This elaborate and delicate Gothic monument is falling to pieces. It once sheltered some sort of statue that is now completely unrecognizable. The base is engraved with the names of two Hills who died in 1920 and 1929, but Father Pitt guesses that the monument dates from the 1870s or before.

  • Hill Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery

    Another fine Egyptian temple, with all the requisite signifiers—lotus columns, sloping sides, winged scarab over the entrance.
