The McDonald Mausoleum - a photo on Flickriver

            McDonald was a Scotsman who went out to America, where he helped found the Standard Oil Company. He became the head of its European Operations. After his wife died he arranged for her remains to be placed in the catacombs of the cemetery until the mausoleum was completed (Brompton Cemetery, 25). Although he himself died in Washington D.C. in 1915, it was not until after the war, in 1920, that he could eventually be interred with her. Carre's son by a previous marriage, James Georger Briggs (1879-1909), is also commemorated in a large inscription along the north interior wall.
