This was the second community mausoleum built in DeKalb County, constructed a few years after a national movement to construct community mausolea began in neighboring Ohio in the early 20th century. Many members of Waterloo's prominent farming families (including the Links, the Bowmans, and the Hammans) are interred here.[2]: 6
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1]
