The Mausoleum of Mary Chambers Bibb
Located in Maple Hill Cemetery, Mary Chambers Bibb's grave was Huntsville's first mausoleum. Mary Chambers Bibb (1816-1835) was the new daughter-in-law to Governor Thomas Bibb, when she was accidentally poisoned by her nanny mistaking poison for Bibb's medicine. She was buried in her wedding dress, and according to local legend was buried sitting in her favorite rocking chair (thus making a mausoleum necessary). Allegedly, she can still be heard to this day rocking in her tomb.
