exterior - Jane Coulby mausoleum - Lake View Cemetery

Exterior of the Jane Coulby mausoleum at Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio. This nearly faces the Garfield Memorial, and is in a prime location in the cemetery.

 

She was the wife of Harry Coulby, the "Czar of the Great Lakes" to ran the Pickands Mather, Pittsburgh Steamship, and Interlake Steamship freighter fleets.

 

Coulby married Jane Eliza Cottier in 1887. She was a whopping 17 years his senior, and had one marriage already under her belt which had ended in divorce. The Coulby marriage ended in divorce about 1909 or 1910. Jane got a big, hefty settlement out of it, probably because Harry was caught courting local divorcee May Allen Scott. Jane used much of the divorce settlement to build a $35,000 mausoleum for herself at Lake View Cemetery in 1916. Jane died on September 13, 1924.
