History:
On the slope up to the church, in the middle cemetery
south side is a mausoleum from the 1940s. The entrance area is cast and flanked by cast sidewalls
that slope to the north and delimit the tomb from the dike. The ground adjacent to the door is paved with single, otherwise, the place is grassy. The gate is off the iron and edged by a frame clad with narrow marble slabs. There are also on both sides of the gate stone slabs with inscriptions and two low pillars crowned with globes According to information, the so-called Thulin's tombs be built by P. A. Thelin while he was still alive. P.A Thelin, born Thelin Alexius Persson on a lease to the church in the village Hissmossa, must have emigrated to America and met wife Siri. When they returned to Sweden, Siri gave birth
to daughter Hatty, but died in connection with the birth.
Siri was probably buried and then moved to the mausoleum when it was ready in the 1940s. The two
globes on either side of the tomb gate is reportedly bowling ball that replaced previous stone balls that existed. Where the original stone balls are is unclear. The whole block is overgrown with grass with exceptions for single stone-enclosed single-roofing available
preserved. Also enclosures of boxwood and
stone frame without shingle occur, however sparingly.
