    I took these pictures a few years ago when I visited Pittsburgh.

    What most people don't know, the pyramid shape is also found on other graves near Russell's burial site.

    Interesting... Wonder who Herbert W. Rogers was... seems like there was another "Herbert W." who just so happened to be a cult leader as well...

    Any chance you visited the Masonic Center next door with questions about our beloved Pastor?

    There are plenty of persons who have pyramids on their gravesites.

    William Branham who is considered the "laodicean Messenger" by his followers has one

    The Huhn family have one, don't know who they are.

    There's also the Confederate Pyramid monument in Richmond, VA

    And then there's this one

    There's this one oin Toledo, Ohio

    Mausoleum of Gaius Cestius in Rome, discovered in 1660 and constructed in 12 BC

    As to Russell's grave. This was the official Bible House cemetary, some of the graves around Russell are Bible Students. In fact his sister is buried right next to him, but it was just a marker that has since broken into pieces.
