| This is the tomb of a little girl who died during her 10th birthday party in 1900. She was originally buried in the tomb to the left. A number of days after she was buried when the family returned to her crypt they found the lid of the sarcophagus askew. Upon examination it was discovered she had been buried alive. It turned out she had epilepsy. Full of remorse her father had the present tomb built. Now she always stands at the door as if she is finally exiting the tomb. This event changed the laws of burial in the city. This is also one of the many exquisite examples of Art Nouveau throughout the cemetery. |
