Reference excerpt

The Oakwood Cemetery Mausoleum is a cemetery structure located in the Oakwood Cemetery in Saline, Michigan. The mausoleum was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

History During the original platting of Saline, land that is now Oakwood Cemetery was set aside for use as a burial ground. In 1913, J.W. Flowers of Toledo, Ohio purchased this land at the Oakwood Cemetery to construct a mausoleum. In 1914, the Board of Trustees for Oakwood Cemetery agreed to design and build the mausoleum, while Flowers would sell the interior chambers. The Board of Trustees contracted with the Washtenaw Mausoleum Company for this building, which was constructed by the O.J. McBride Company. The building was completed in 1915.

Description

The Oakwood Cemetery Mausoleum is single story mausoleum constructed of pink, grey, and black fieldstone with grey mortar. The building measures 30 feet by 45 feet. The main facades are terraced, and it has a red tiled monitor roof containing small rectangular windows. The main facade contains small stained glass windows and metal doors, with the inscription "In Hope" carved in a sandstone block above. A heart-shaped stone tops the inscription, and three decorative metal plates are set in the stone. The facade edges and entrance are emphasized with projecting stonework. The opposite facade also includes stained glass windows and metal decorations. The interior floor is marble, and the mausoleum contains space for 88 to 100 burials.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Oakwood Cemetery Mausoleum

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Oakwood Cemetery Mausoleum claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Oakwood Cemetery Mausoleum before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Oakwood Cemetery Mausoleum ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Oakwood Cemetery Mausoleum

In research: Oakwood Cemetery Mausoleum appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Oakwood Cemetery Mausoleum in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Oakwood Cemetery Mausoleum is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1915 establishments in Michigan, Buildings and structures completed in 1915, Burial monuments and structures in Michigan, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Oakwood Cemetery Mausoleum outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
