This interesting tomb at Menard's Pioneer Rest Cemetery gives the appearance of an above ground burial, however this is not a mausoleum but a style of grave covering that gives the illusion of a mausoleum by stacking limestone blocks over the in-ground grave.

The hand-inscribed tombstone reads as follows:

"ELVA ORA HALL

Born
March 18, 1882
Died
June 5, 1885"
Date of Birth: 18 March 1882

Date of Death: 5 June 1885

Material: Concrete
