[[File:Craigmiles Mausoleum's red stain.jpg|thumb|The mysterious red stains that appear on the marble of the Craigmiles Mausoleum]] Cleveland is home to the famous Craigmiles Mausoleum, located at 320 Broad Street NW, behind St. Luke's Episcopal Church. The mausoleum contains the body of Nina Craigmiles, a seven-year-old who died on October 18, 1871, when a horse buggy in which she was riding was struck by a train. Her father, John Craigmiles, constructed the church and mausoleum in Nina's memory. He named the church St. Luke's because the girl died on St. Luke's Day.<ref>Kazek, Kelly (2011). ''Forgotten Tales of Tennessee''. Stroud UK: The History Press. {{ISBN|978-1-60949-156-7}}.</ref> Shortly after Nina's body was placed inside the mausoleum, red stains appeared on the marble. Over the years the stained marble has been replaced, but the stains inevitably reappear. Craigmiles commissioned a statue of Nina, which was to be shipped from Europe. It was being transported via the RMS ''[[Titanic]]'' and sank with the ship.<ref>Moran, Mark and Sceurman, Mark (2005).
