PARK AND CEMETERY. 
sliaw & Punshon, Cincinnati, O., died 
at his home in that city January 13th, 
1906. Mr. Earnshaw- was born in Not- 
tingham,' England, Sept. 20th, 1831. He 
came to this country at an early age 
and located at Cincinnati, about 1854, 
where he assisted his father in laying 
out Spring Grove Cemetery. Mr. Earn- 
shaw was appointed city surveyor of 
Cincinnati in 1856, serving about two 
years, after which he began the prac- 
tice of civil engineering and surveying 
on his own account, and continued un- 
interruptedly until his death. He early 
made a specialty of landscape engineer- 
ing and laid out many cemeteries and 
parks in all parts of this country as 
well as in Canada. Mr. Earnshaw was 
a great traveler, having made repeated 
visits to Europe, Mexico, Canada, and 
Alaska, as well as all parts of this 
country; the results of these trips were 
embodied in the numerous designs of 
modern cemeteries, which he laid out. 
He was for many years closely asso- 
ciated with the late Adolph Strauch, 
who, until his death, was superintendent 
of Spring Grove Cemetery at Cincinnati. 
Mr. Earnshaw was a man of the strictest 
integrity, unbounded energy and of 
large executive ability. Perhaps that 
which he prized most was the following 
tribute from the president and board of 
directors of Spring Grove Cemetery : 
Cincinnati, Feb. 7, 1902. 
Mr. Joseph Earnshaw, civil engineer, 
having been connected with the ceme- 
tery of Spring Grove for more than 45 
years as landscape engineer, where he 
has developed from original plans, with 
Superintendents Adolph Strauch and 
William Salway, surveys and plans, now 
existing, and as these as well as count- 
less original maps and drawings are 
monuments to his rare abilities in pro- 
fessional work and are well known at 
home and abroad, it is our pleasure to 
certify to their value as an addition to 
landscape gardening. His grand topo- 
graphical and geographical maps of the 
cemetery, in daily use by lot owners and 
the trustees, are invaluable — they speak 
of a character that, by arduous services, 
through long years, has overcome all 
obstacles and been crowned by success 
from first to last, as another example of 
a well-spent, useful life for the good of 
his fellow-men. At the regular meet- 
ing of the board this day, the foregoing 
tribute of respect was unanimoush 
adopted and a copy ordered to be 
signed by the president and secretary 
and delivered to Mr. Joseph Earnshaw, 
in consideration of his long and valu- 
able service to this corporation.
