The old mausoleum located at 1945 Rockledge Drive adjacent to the Indian River has long been the subject of many discussions as to just who was interred there. The Author was fortunate one day, to be there when the present owners of the land upon which the white house and the mausoleum are built, were there and he learned the true story of the mausoleum from them. The mausoleum was erected and contains members of the Pluckebaum Family. the property was inherited by Mary Elizabeth Pluckebaum, who married Robert G. Weber; they now reside in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Pluckebaum Road in Rockledge was named after this pioneer family.
