The Stanislao-Melone Mausoleum is at Mount Carmel Cemetery in Chicago -- another photo of this mausoleum can be seen here, at graveyards.com.

This Ektachrome slide is dated May, 1977. I have no idea who the gentleman in the red pants is, but his smile suggests that he is a descendant of someone interred in this structure.

This image came from a box full of slides from families and places that had nothing to do with each other, and which were grouped thus so as to make the most money at resale. This can make it difficult to divine any context or establish identities. As a cemeterian I get a little thrill from seeing photos from others who have wandered large American cemeteries.]]> mark thomas photo Sun, 06 Sep 2009 18:31:05 -0400 http://www.sorabji.com/pictures/Found_Photos/rose_bowl_1965.jpg.html http://www.sorabji.com/pictures/Found_Photos/rose_bowl_1965.jpg.html
