"For over 140 years Wyuka Cemetery has played an integral part of the lives Nebraskans. During that time its grounds have been host to family gatherings of all kinds. To this day, our visitors tell us stories of their visits to Wyuka for celebrating birthdays and family reunions and celebrating the lives of their loved ones in death.
Wyuka is a Lakota Indian word meaning “to rest” and upon entering the grounds many tell us a “feeling of calm” comes over them. You are invited to tour the 140-plus rolling acres of trees, shrubs and flower gardens that make Wyuka Cemetery one of the most quietly beautiful places in our state."
The mausoleum is constructed of five courses of quarry faced limestone. The entryway has a smooth jamb and header. The door is made of metal. The entablature is missing letters - A "T" for sure and another unknown - probably "W" for Thomas W. Lowrey who passed in 8/7/1893. There is no further information on Mr. Lowery. The date "1893" appears on a front capstone for the roof.
