Gardens of Stone --- A Cemetery Blog by Alexandra Kathryn Mosca

  This stately mausoleum, with Egyptian overtones, houses the remains of Richard Kyle Fox in Woodlawn cemetery.   Fox , who was born in Belfast Ireland , published the popular National Police Gazette From 1877-1922. In its heyday the publication --which sold for a dime --had a circulation of 500,000 and a readership in the millions.

Often referred to as "The Father of Green-Wood," it was Henry Evelyn Pierrepont's vision and planning that made Green-Wood happen. Pierrepont's Gothic-Revival, open-air mausoleum was designed by famed architect Richard Upjohn.
