| The Thew Mausoleum after being vandalized (Photo courtesy of the Morning Journal) |
It's still hard to believe that it was vandalized back in November 2011 along with several other mausolems. (Here's the link to the story and its aftermath.)
Sadly, unlike the other buildings, the Thew Mausoleum did not receive new doors. Apparently it was sealed and then covered with a sandstone overlay.
Here's the link to the Captain Richard Thew page on the Find A Grave website.

Hey Dan, as a local historian, I found myself in this cemetery today (also to place flowers on a family member’s grave). I took a detour over to the mausoleums, including the Thew monument, and I too thought exactly the same thing: "It's too bad there isn't a historical plaque or something to educate cemetery visitors about the story of Captain Thew and his company. It's an important part of the history of Lorain.” Maybe something good for the County Bicentennial now occurring….
