The Baron Scherer Chapel (“The Chapel on the Hill”) is located in the Bellevue Cedar Hill Memory Gardens in Daytona Beach. Fl.
Karen Szczeniak, the volunteer Find-A Grave photographer who took the pictures, called the Chapel grand and impressive. She says the chapel is in generally good condition but has some minor water seepage on one wall. The wooden benches may be in need of some touch-up too. Attached to the Chapel are two wings of an ordinary mausoleum structure. The cemetery employee who took her there says it is the only one like it on the cemetery grounds… “and the cemetery is huge!”
Marie Baron Scherer had the Chapel built in hopes that other Baron family members would be buried there also.
Buried in the Chapel are:
