The Busch Mausoleum was looking beautiful with a cloudless sky framing it as we looked at some mausolea.

The Farrar “mausoleum” actually holds a crypt below the floor of the colonnade.

If you move the stone back, it slides on these tracks. Very nice.

This is one of the oldest large-scale monuments in the cemetery. Ann Farrar’s land makes up a large portion of Hyde Park.

Up next is Daniel D. Page’s tumulus, which is a fancy name for a tomb that is built up out of earth or stones to create a subterranean space.

The Daniel Page Addition is a huge swath of land west of North Jefferson Avenue, and it possessed hundreds of lots, greatly expanding the City of St. Louis after the Civil War.

The mausoleum below, I believe is the Russell family’s, as in the family who mined clay and coal in Tower Grove South and whose mansion Oak Hill I’ve featured in the past.

Down below the hill are more hillside tombs.

I’ve looked at the George Taylor mausoleum back in July of 2014.

Below is the Wolff mausoleum.

I’ve always loved this mausoleum below due to its door.

It is a solid piece of Carthage marble, complete with a vent to prevent miasma.
