Theresa Kenny was an immigrant from Austria, and purchased her plot in the cemetery 14 years in advance of her death. Known for her handiness in repairs and improvements on her home, she also built her own mausoleum in 1930. She performed all the work herself, with the exception of the roof of the structure. She apparently used a spoon from her kitchen to create the texture of the mausoleum walls.
She became enamored with her planned final resting place, calling it her "little house." For more than a decade, she could regularly be found on the porch of her mausoleum, rocking in her rocking chair. She was known to take guests over to the cemetery to show her handiwork off. When Theresa passed away in 1943, her rocking chair was placed inside the mausoleum, where it sits near her to this day.
