Carnegie dies at Shadow Brook after brief illness
Andrew Carnegie iron master and philanthropist died at Shadow Brook after a brief illness that began with a cold and bronchial pneumonia. His simple funeral will be held at home and his body likely sent to Pittsburgh for burial. His daughter Margaret arrived after the death, and Mrs Carnegie recovered enough to plan private rites. Carnegie had given away most of his fortune since 1901, funding libraries, pensions, education, and peace efforts worldwide.
