William Edward Minahan Mausoleum

Green Bay

Posted

The 1912 William Edward Minahan Mausoleum is located at 1542 S. Webster Ave., Green Bay.

The tomb, overlooking the Fox River, was built in the Neoclassical Revival style — a revival of Greek and Roman classical styles — which was popular in Wisconsin, 1895–1935, after the World’s Columbian Exposition was held in Chicago in 1893 and featured similar structures.

Minihan was a physician in the Fox Valley area.

Several of his siblings also worked in the medical field.

Minahan boarded the Titanic at Queenstown on April 10, 1912, as first class passenger with his wife Lillian and sister Daisy.

William perished in the sinking and his body was forwarded to a family member in Green Bay on May 2, 1912.
He was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Green Bay.
