 > ngineer was born in Denmark, forty- 

 two years ago, and came with his par- 

 ents to I llevi land. 0., where his father 

 is superintendent oi schools at the

 ('have near Washington, D. C, the 

 . ,i of Senator Newlands of Neva- 

 da, did other promiscuous work 

 around Washington and last tall was 

 engaged in a gigantic scheme for the 

 improvement of Harrisburg, Pa., where 

 he had 300 men under his employ and 

 was contractor, nursery man and laud- 

 scape architect and engineer. The re- 

 fusal by the hanks at the time of the 

 panic to further finance any contract- 

 ing scheme forced him to transfer his 

 contracts and the work has since been 

 finished by the municipal authorities. 

 His latest labors have been at Morris- 

 town, Newark and Orange, N. J. In 

 the latter place he did considerable 

 work tor Senator Everett Colby, A. C. 

 Jenkins and George Merck in Llew- 

 ellyn Park. 



Two weeks ago he was attacked with 

 rheumatism and was treated by a phy- 

 sician. It, however, returned on Octo- 

 ber 9 and he expired on the way to 

 the City Hospital, Newark, N. J., at 

 five a. m. The remains were taken to 

 Washington, D. C. He was widely 

 known and maintained an extensive 

 correspondence all over the country. 

 A student of his art and a most prom- 

 ising member of his profession.
