Rosehill Mausoleum stained glass windows
Rosehill Cemetery, Chicago, Illinois
There are about 38 Tiffany stained glass windows in the individual crypts of Rosehill Mausoleum, most of them commissioned between 1912 and 1930, according to Jack L. Bradley (the mausoleum opened in 1914). There is an online census of them here. From time to time, on my visits to the mausoleum, I photograph several of the windows.

[ Rosehill Cemetery, Chicago Illinois — October 2023 ]
#I am not personally a ''spooky season'' person but it felt appropriate nonetheless#to spend the first day of october wandering around rosehill cemetery#it's very hot and everything is still green obviously#but rosehill is beautiful and I love a good cemetery tour#wherever there is light#city of the big shoulders

All You Got And Then Some (1/2)
Tachikawa Base- Exam Day
Reno: Wow, This is the Defence Force's Tachikawa base!
Psaro: Quite the grand base, I would except nothing less for the Troopers that train here.
Today was the day of Kafka and Reno's exam to become Defense Force members, and Psaro who had to change up there appearence and choose black hair and blue eyes ( like Kafka) along with rounding out there ears and wearing a baseball cap just to be sure that they wouldn't get recognized
Reno: No kidding, I visited the Kumagaya Base on my social studies
Kafka: This place shares a building with The Japan Self-Defence Force's Camp. In emergency situations, they work in conjunction to dispatch officers all over Nishi-Tokyo
Reno: * Scanning the area* That explains a lot.... I would say if you transformed you would be screwed but.... * looks over to Psaro who is still looking over the Base* I think you luckily have a card to get out of that situation.
Kafka: Ya, there a quite a few officers, but don't worry. I'm locked and loaded, and at the top of game. Nothing like that is gonna happen.
????: Hey, Old Man
Kafka: No use chickening out now. Let's go shall we?
????: I said Hey, Old Man
Reno: Sir? * Pokes Kafka*
Psaro: Hmmmm? Who are you?
Kafka: * Turns around and points to himself* Huh....? Me?
????: Yes, I mean you Old Man. That should have been obvious, you simpleton!
Reno: * Thoughts* Is this girl an examinee?
Psaro: * Thoughts* Well she seems quite pompous....
Kafka: I'M NOT AN OLD MAN! I'M ONLY 32 YEARS OLD!!!
The banter countinued on between Kafka and the girl who they learned was named Kikoru Shinomiya, went on for awhile as the dispute was over a parking spot and a lucky number. Though it ended when Kikoru picked up the car thanks to her combat suit and tossed. Naturally the trio freaked out over there car gwtting throne. Then there was a close call when Kafka lifted the car back up-right shocking Shinomiya. Thankfully Kikoru didn't press Kafka about it, chalking it up to having his own suit. After a decleration from Kafka, she countred with one of her own saying she couldn't wait to make a fool out of him. After all that and a brief chewing out from Reno, the duo went too take the exams with Psaro and all the Monster wishing them luck ( before they left the house).
Psaro: Good luck, Kafka, Reno may the Goddess grace you.... Alright let's go find a good spot to spectate.
Spectators Booth Pov
Psaro and a couple of the other Monsters that wanted to watch took to perching themselves on top of a very very tall building. Gooey had brought along snacks in the car ( that thankfully stayed in one piece) and Psaro brought along a couple special small telescopes, so they could watch the exams take place. So Psaro, Fizzy, Gooey, Purrvis, Duffer, and Eileen all watched and cheered for Kafka and Reno.
Running Laps
Purrvis Zoom in Mode: Hmmm, Kafka's form is good, but he is still heavily lagging behind the others.
Duffer Zoom in Mode: Yes, it seems Sir Kafka's running speed needs to be polished more, however he is still doing adimirable. Though I have to say the competition seems stiff.
Eileen Zoom in Mode: Eye couldn't agree more, Kafka is pushing himself to the limit and Reno is doing good too. Eye just hope that it's enough.
Pull-ups
Psaro: Kafka is doing well on the pull ups, that upper body training seems to have payed off. Though his pace compared to the others seems to be shy of the average.
Duffer: While I'm not expert on brute strength, he seems to be letting himself desend down to harshly and straining his muscles. Perhaps some pointers for future training would be useful.
Balance Test
Purrvis: That's good Kafka, breathe in and out. Focus on moving across and don't look done.
Fizzy: Ohhh your doing great love, keep this up and you'll be the break out star of the exams
Climbing
Eileen: That's the ticket Kakfa, don't rush focus on getting a good grip and you'll be seeing the view from the top in no time.
The tests proceeded onwards with Kafka ranking around 204 out of 225.
Purrvis: That's not a bad ranking with how stiff the competition was and it seems Reno managed a 157 ranking.
Duffer: Yes, that quite good, however it seems Sir Kafka does not share the sentiment.
Fizzy: Oh that Eejit, he's singing doom and gloom, before the test is even over. He won't make it through, if he panics before the games even over. * Shouts* COME ON LOVE WE'RE ROOTIN FOR YOUR VICTORY, SO DON'T GIVE UP!!!
Gooey who had been busy snacking in the background, along with Purrvis who joined in eating the sushi that was brought, spoke up
Gooey: It soundze that like Kafka is having a bit of trouble with the exams * Slurp* Do you think he can pull a hat trick and win?
Psaro: Yes I do, I believe Kafka can make his dream a reality he's come this far and can break past his limits. He can accomplish so much, when he believes in something and nothing can stop- annndddd he's getting beat up by 2 guys... oohhh Kafka....
With the first part out of the way the second part of the exams were getting underway. To kill as many Youju and the one Honju that were in the training grounds and unfortunately for Kafka, his combat power was a 0. The call to begin rang out everyone took off like bullet, everyone except Kafka.
Kafka: We're heading out too! Stay close to me Ichikawa!!!
Reno: THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN MY LINE!!!!
Without the suits power to help lift the gun, Kafka was left dragging it. After some banter and Kafka trying to look cool, Kafka made an observation about the exam. That they would be taking note of there actions in the exam and how they handled themselves. So deciding to switch up tatics they moved to support there fellow examinees. Though that would have to wait as a Youju decided too Kool-Aid Man there way through a wall.
Kafka: A Youju!?!? It must have slipped past the others and made it's way to the back!
Reno: * Begins To Fire* Sir, we need too run, this things hide is too tough to break through!!!
As they begin to move back from the advancing Youju, Kafka ends up coming up with an idea.
Kafka: Wait a minute Ichikawa, I recognize this Youju. I remember doing a joint clean up on these types of Youju, there hides are super weak on there belly. If we can get it to rear upwards then we can kill it * looks to see a sharp piece of broken rebar* and have the perfect plan.
As the Youju, began there charge the plan was put into motion. Ichikawa providing cover fire waited a bit until the Youju got in closer. When it was withing a good enough distance, Ichikawa threw out a stun grenade, causing the Youju to recoil in pain. This led Kafka charge towards the Youju, rebar raised like a sword as he focused.
Kafka: * Thoughts* Alright it's now or never, remember what you learned from Percival and... * Brings the rebar forward and shouts* SLASH TWICE LIKE A FALCON
In a stunning display of strength and speed, 2 blink-and-you-will-miss-it slashes were dealt to the Youju's head leaving very deep wounds and causing it to cry out in pain and just as planned the Youju stood on it's hind legs gripping it's face in pain.
Kafka: NOW ICHIKAWA!!!
Not being needed to be told twice, Reno sent out a volley of shots that pierced the Youku's stomach killing it.
The Youju know laid there defeated by Kafka and Reno combined teamwork.
Kafka: Did we....?
Reno: We did.....
Kafka/Reno: WE TOOK DOWN A KAIJU!!!
This was the boost the duo really needed and with renewed courage and vigor they went to go out and help the other examinees. Not knowing Kafka's display of swordmanship had captured the attention of one Vice-Captain.
I love the commentary from the Rosehill Gallery. They definitely cheered when Kafka and Reno manage to take down a kaiju. Also that sword technique got Soshiro's attention.
Despite having a 0 combat power, Kafka managed to pierce through the Yoju's hide using rebar with incredible skill. Soshiro definitely wants to see that talent honed further. Instead of becoming a cadet, Kafka finds himself in the Defense Force through apprenticeship by the 3rd Vice Captain.

Rosehill Mausoleum, Chicago
The mausoleum features a rotunda with relief panels of the four seasons by Leon Hermant, sculptor
Rosehill Masoleum. Source: Rosehill Cemetery, Dignity Memorial
Background:
Rosehill Cemetery, in northwest Chicago, is the city's largest and oldest cemetery, dating back to 1859, and contains at least 200,000 grave sites in a 350-acre garden setting.
Dedicated in 1914, the cemetery's Rosehill Mausoleum was designed by architect Sidney Lovell, who is interred within. The interior is almost entirely of marble, with the floors composed of Italian Carrara marble. Several later additions would be made to the building; there were six additions made after 1913, and a final one in 1975.
Leon Hermant (1866–1936) was an American sculptor best known for his architectural sculpture. Hermant was born in France, educated in Europe and came to America in 1904 to work on the French Pavilion at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri.
For most of his career he was based in Chicago, working mostly in the American midwest, and frequently with a partner Carl Beil.
From 1904, when they met in St. Louis, until 1927, Hermant and Beil were partners at their Sculpture Studio at 21 East Pearson Street in Chicago. Leon was the Artist, Carl, the "Executioner." Hermant continued his art after Beil's death in 1927, receiving a major commission for the Indiana State Library in 1934. Hermant exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago in the 1920s, and would complete many sculptures throughout the U.S. [Chicago Sculpture in the Loop]
In 1928 Hermant was awarded the Légion d'honneur by the French government for his Louis Pasteur Monument in Grant Park, Chicago.
Pasteur Monument, Grant Park, Chicago
In the 1929 Fourth Addition to Rosehill Mausoleum, a marble rotunda features relief panels of the four seasons executed by Hermant, placed between engaged marble columns. Each panel contains a brief quote below, appropriate to the season. Leon Hermant's signature appears on the bottom right of only one panel, Winter.
The yellowish lighting within the rotunda is so dim that photography is difficult, and one strains to appreciate the quality of the sculptures. I'd admired these panels before, but it was thanks to some thorough research by Jim Craig of Under Every Tombstone that I was alerted to their sculptor's identity.

Inscriptions at the base of the four panels:
SPRING
Hail bounteous May, that dost inspire
Mirth, and youth and warm desire
Hill and dale dost boast thy blessing
This we salute thee with our early song
and welcome and wishe thee long.
Milton.
SUMMER
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
…So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Shakespeare
AUTUMN
There is no death! The stars go down
To rise upon some other shore.
And bright in heaven's jeweled crown
They shine for evermore.
…For all the universe is life…
There are no dead."
Maeterlink
WINTER
When once our heavenly souls shall climb
Then all earthly grossness quit.
Attired with stars we shall forever sit
Triumphing over death and change and thee
O time!
-Milton-

I grew up on Winnemac near Broadway, and during my formative boyhood-garter-snake-catching days knew a few sneaky ways into the maintenance yard of St Boniface Catholic Cemetery and the former backlot of Essanay Studios at it's northeast corner. I recently listened to an odd podcast that "reviewed" St Boniface Cemetery and it got me thinking about my own semi-recreational use of area cemeteries. I have spent some quality time hiking and exploring Rosehill and Graceland - both as a way to get in touch with Chicago history, and to enjoy the natural splendor of these often avoided places. LakeView Historical Chronicles website has a great collection of info on northside cemeteries. I can highly recommend LakeView Historical Chronicles site - they have a ton of collected photos, newspaper clipping and other information about the Lake View area, the linked cemeteries page being one of many.
