Mausoleum has a new look
Note: Watch for the story by Senior Scribe Delbert Blickenstaff in a coming issue of The Early Bird.
Last year, a committee of Greenville residents, led by Ron Bonfiglio and Greenville Union Cemetery Manager Dick O’Brien, began a campaign to seek funding to restore the Greenville Mausoleum, built in 1912, and then allowed to deteriorate for nearly 100 years.
The following set of photos is a pictorial of the completion of one of many long-term projects to bring the historical building back to its original shape. The first of four stained glass windows has now replaced one that had been destroyed by vandalism over the years. One down, three to go. Top photo, O’Brien, left, and Blickenstaff.
It is one of many examples throughout Darke County of citizens honoring their past and preserving it for future generations.
