The Harper Mausoleum and George W. Harper Memorial Entrance are a pair of funerary structures in the village cemetery at Cedarville, Ohio, United States. Commemorating one of Cedarville's wealthiest nineteenth-century citizens, they have together been named a historic site because of their distinctive Egyptian-style design. ==George W.

Harper Banking Company, which operated until being bought out by the Exchange Bank in 1896.〔Broadstone, Michael A. ''(History of Greene County, Ohio: Its People, Industries, and Institutions )''.
