This mausoleum is constructed of granite with real marble pillars. The only writing on it is the name G.W. Van Dusen.
Although I was unable to confirm, it is more than likely that this the final resting place of George Washington Van Dusen (1826-1915).
Van Dusen was a pioneer grain merchant who made his fortune with G.W. Van Dusen & Co. in Rochester, Minnesota. He was one of the first people to conceive the idea of building grain elevators and warehouses along railroad lines.
