"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."

"Wyuka’s early mausoleums were clustered in one area of the cemetery to maintain the open, park-like appearance of the rest of the grounds. The E. E. Brown family mausoleum of 1911 was erected three years after the death of Erastus E. Brown, an attorney, banker, and second mayor of Lincoln (in 1872-3)--the earliest of the nearly two dozen Lincoln mayors interred in the cemetery. His prominence is reflected in his list of pallbearers, which included William Jennings Bryan in the year of his third and final presidential campaign.

Mausoleums such as the Browns’ were equivalent in cost to a substantial house, largely because of the massive size and weight of the stones used. The granite roof of the structure consists of just three slabs and the stones forming the walls run the length of the building. A handsome leaded-glass window lights the marble-lined interior."

The header of the door shows the date - 1911. The entablature shows the name E. E. Brown. The exterior of the mausoleum is done in quarry faced limestone. The Stained glass window is of a vine and two flowers with cabochons throughout the window
