Suggested edit: Jane Livingston Armour was the fourth wife of Herman Ossian Armour, the first three having all died young. Along with his brother Phillip Danforth Armour, Herman founded the Armour Meatpacking firm in Chicago in the 1860s. Herman died in 1901 and Jane lived another 27 years, in New York City. She contracted architect James Renwick Jr. to design the Armour Mausoleum at Woodlawn Cemetery. (Renwick also designed such buildings as St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC and the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC.) Upon completion, Jane had Herman's first three wives disinterred and placed inside the mausoleum alongside her husband. She died in 1928 and left significant sums of money to a variety of charities.
