You listed the Mormon temple in Cardston as a place of non-christian worship. This is most definitely incorrect. The Mormons, or more correctly, The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints, focuses it's worship solely on Jesus Christ and his gospel. Please be a little more careful with what you publish.

I appreciate Laura Markey's note about Bayview, which I know well. The mausoleum is beautiful and rich in history, as she says. It was not that I "missed" it, but it was excluded by the publisher. “Book review by Jane Irwin” should read “by John Bentley Mays”.

The property on which the mausoleum stands is also rich in history and was once known of as Bay View Park. In the 1800's it was a popular amusement park and people would take the ferry across from Hamilton to enjoy a Sunday off or bath on the beach shores. It seemed appropriate to comment on this as Ms. Irwin's book focuses on the history of cemeteries & Bayview is rich in history. The stained glass work of the renowned artist Mr. James Bloomfield is still the focal point of the mausoleum. His work is documented in the journal article: McGregor, D.A. "Obit for Blomfield" Angle on the Square (14 July 1951) np. Bayview Mausoleum is documented in the journal article: Lane, Kimbers. "Supra Terranean Entombment," Construction. 21.11 (1928) 362-373. Annotation: Formal analysis of The Hamilton (Ontario) Mausoleum with detailed descriptions of its stained glass windows and an in-depth discussion of the great chapel window by James Blomfield. The Hamilton Mausoleum is now called Bayview Mausoleum to restore the natural historical link that already exists.
