Goodman Mausoleum Relief - Chicago, IL - Relief Art Sculptures on Waymarking.com

Graceland Cemetery has the gravesites of many prominent Chicagoans.
The cemetery's website (visit link) has a biography of some.... and for the Goodman Mausoleum, it informs us:

"William Goodman, 1848 -1936
Goodman, another Chicago lumber magnate, had this impressive lakeside mausoleum built for his son Kenneth, a naval lieutenant in training who was a victim of the 1918 influenza epidemic. The elder Goodman’s friend, architect Howard Van Doren Shaw, designed it, using the same neoclassical style he would use in 1925 for the Goodman Theatre, which was founded as a memorial to the Goodmans’ dramatist son."

The mausoleum has a porticoed area with a large block in the center. The block has a relief sculpture of a man and woman in ancient Greek garb looking at aq young man....dancing or doing something athletic. The family name "GOODMAN" is engraved at the top...and on either side of the relief- "UNTIL THE DAY BREAKS AND THE SHADOWS FLEE AWAY" which is part of this Song of Solomon 2:17 quote- "Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether..."
