The Butterweck Mausoleum appears to be constructed of granite. The Butterweck surname is inscribed over the entrance to the mausoleum, and above the name is the year 1916. Although there are no names listed on the mausoleum, a website
(visit link) with the names of individuals buried in the cemetery lists two people with the Butterweck surname so this mausoleum is likely their final resting place. They are Lizzie Butterweck who died on August 28, 1921, and Otto C. Butterweck who died on March 13, 1916. The year of death for Otto C. matches the year inscribed on the mausoleum.
