DeWitt’s mausoleum is at the Greenwood Cemetery in San Diego.
Bertha had it built in an Egyptian-style because in that time,
people believed one could communicate with the dead through
this iconography.

​Artist Nina located DeWitt’s mausoleum in San Diego’s Greenwood Cemetery. It was an amazing structure that Bertha Mitchell built for her beloved son. There had been a contract that said every year there would be some kind of event for DeWitt, like for his birthday (verbal hearsay). I’m not sure it is being done anymore.
There was a heavy lock and chain on the door which leads one to think it had been vandalized.
There was also a dried rose in the glass. I have no idea who left it.
The stone carving was beautifully executed.
