Prominent among the many Masons buried at Prospect Hill is Warren S. Seipp. Seipp, a Past Master of Mount Moriah Lodge #116, was Worshipful Master of the Lodge for the years 1904 - 1907, and served as Grand Master of Masons in Maryland from 1920 until his death on April 11, 1930. At his funeral, he was conducted from the Masonic Temple on Charles Street (downtown at Saratoga Street) to his burial in Prospect Hill, where he was laid to rest with full Masonic rites. Hundreds watched the funeral cortege leave Charles Street and over 100 Lodges were represented at the burial. Warren Seipp was a banker and member of the Baltimore City School Board. He is the only member of Mount Moriah to have served as Worshipful Master for four consecutive years. A significant part of his legacy as Grand Master was his initiation of a plan for a retirement home for elderly Masons and their wives, known today as Bonnie Blink in Hunt Valley.
Mr. Seipp was Vice President of the Title Guarantee and Trust Company in Baltimore and died of the heart attack following a Baltimore City School Board meeting. The Baltimore school system named the Warren S. Seipp Vocational School (School #57) in his honor. The trade school, located at Broadway and Bank Street, operated into the middle of the 20th century, and brought together approximately 250 boys from all areas of the city. Another honor given to Seipp was the creation of the Warren S. Seipp Medal for Distinguished Service to Freemasonry.
Mrs. Minnie Held Seipp, his wife, rest next to him. The Seipps' son and daughter-in-law are also buried within this courtyard. There are many members of the Seipp and Held families buried at Prospect Hill Cemetery.
