Mausoleum (D.C. Carruthers M.D. [Doctor of Medicine] ) Vaults
These words are written on trace and in Name Sheets but there are no authority given for the designation and from the description given in the Descriptive Bks. [Books] it does not appear to merit the designation Mausoleum Should it not be simply Carruther's monument, Dr. Carruthers' monument, or some such name? What is the popular designation for it?
The designation mausoleum should only be given to monuments of a superior class.
In the Descriptive Bks. [Books] it is stated that it is "railed in front with iron railings" Should not the part enclosed with the railings be a dotted line not a firm line all round as now shewn on the trace?
Have the goodness to give an authority for the name or designation

26th April 1858
Sir,
This was not erected as a memorial to Dr Carruthers, but was erected by himself as a family sepulchral monument; therefore it is not a proper name & should not receive a description.
Mausoleum It is a magnificent structure one storey high & is termed a mausoleum by the Superintendent of the Cemetery.
It is locally termed a vault It is superior to the generality of vaults.
It is not railed in in front, but the entrance to it is an ordinary doorway & the door is composed of iron bars; therefore it should not be dotted.
The Superintendent informed me that this is one of an intended range of vaults or mausoleums, that are to be extended along the northern wall of the cemetery, and that [continued on page 7B] |

[continued from 7A] that if it receives a proper name, it will be necessary to give a proper name to every one in the range; calling them after the individuals to whom they belong.
