Souther Mausoleum Stained Glass window in the Souther Mausoleum

The Souther Mausoleum was constructed by John Souther (1 Mar 1816 - 12 Sep 1911) of Boston, Massachusetts, son of Job Tower Souther and Rachel Damon. John owned his own dredging company and was a very successful business man.

The following information was "transcribed" by the author in 1999 from the Urns found in the "Souther Mausoleum, Cypress Avenue, Lot 5155", Forest Hills Cemetery, Jamaica Plain, MA.

There are two shelves on the left and right sides of the inside of the mausoleum. I started on the left side shelf and took the readings of the urns from back to front; then to the right hand shelf with readings of the urns from back to front. 10 urns on the left shelf; 7 urns on the right shelf. (A "/" separates each line of transcription)
