Ada's Woodlawn Cemetery once included a mausoleum with 240 compartments. Built in 1908, the mausoleum received remains until 1964 but was never filled. Adequate funds were not available to maintain the facility, leading to its deterioration. Eventually, all remains were removed and buried nearby.
For a time, the building was used for storage. It was demolished in 1984, according to an article in The Times Cover.
