Barnard, Assoc. M. Am. Soc. C. E. - -DIED FEBRUARY 6TH, 1910. - -John Fiske Barnard was born in Worcester, Mass., on April 23d. 1829. He -was graduated from the Bridgewater Normal School, and from Rensselaer -Polytechnic Institute. - -In November, 1850, Mr. Barnard entered the railway service. He -held various engineering and operating positions with the Grand Trunk -Railway and its subsidiary lines in Lower Canada, and served as Chief -Engineer of the Grand Trunk South of the St. Lawrence River for the -last three years of his connection with that road. - -In May, 1869, he went to the Missouri Valley Railroad as Superintendent -and Chief Engineer. During the same year he was appointed Chief -Engineer of the Kansas City-St. Joseph and Council Bluffs Railroad, -and remained with this road and the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad -(both now a part of the Burlington Missouri Lines), as Chief Engineer, -General Superintendent, and General Manager, until 1886. During this -time Mr. Barnard was also President of the Atchison Union Depot Company -and the St. Joseph Union Stock Yards Company, Secretary and Treasurer -of the St. Joseph Depot Company, and Director in various railroad -companies. - -In 1886, Mr. Barnard was appointed President and General Manager of -the Ohio and Mississippi Railway, which position he occupied until -1892. From that time until 1893, he was engaged on several reports -of projected railroads and appraisals of industrial and railroad -properties. - -From 1893 to 1898, Mr. Barnard was Receiver of the Omaha and St. Louis -(now Wabash) Railway, during part of which time he was also President -of the Alton Bridge Company, and Receiver of the St. Clair-Madison and -St. Louis Belt Line. - -In the spring of 1905 he moved to Los Angeles, Cal., where he lived -until February 6th, 1910, when, after an illness of several months, he -died at his home at the age of 81 years. - -Mr. Barnard was elected a Member of the American Society of Civil -Engineers on September 1st, 1880. He was also a Member of the American -Geographical Society. - - -=ROBERT L. ENGLE, M. Am. Soc. C. E.=[2] - -[2] Memoir prepared by O. E. Selby, Jun. Am. Soc. C. E. - -DIED OCTOBER 16TH, 1909. - -Robert L. Engle was born on December 5th, 1846. He was a product of -the time when opportunities for technical training were few, so that -his engineering education was gained largely by contact with actual -work. He began his professional career after the Civil War, in which -he served for two years in the One Hundred and Forty-eighth Indiana -Volunteer Infantry. - -The first construction work of any note on which Mr. Engle was engaged -was the building of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, now a part of -the Baltimore and Ohio System, extending from Cincinnati to St. Louis. -Later, and up to 1878, he was connected with the construction of the -Cincinnati Southern Railway, Cincinnati's municipally owned railway, -as Division Engineer, at Ray Springs, Tenn. This work included several -tunnels and other heavy work in the mountain territory. - -After the completion of the Cincinnati Southern, Mr. Engle went West, -and was engaged in the construction of the Santa Fé Railroad at -Trinidad, Colo., in the capacity of Assistant Chief Engineer. Under -his direction the Royal Gorge Hanging Bridge was built, and much other -interesting work was carried out. Mr. Engle's forte was location, and -in the mountainous regions of the West he found ample exercise for this -faculty. From Trinidad he moved to Santa Fé, N. Mex. His name is borne -by Engle, N. Mex., now a thriving Western town. - -While still in the West, Mr. Engle was connected with the Mexican -Central Railroad, at Chihuahua, Mexico, on construction work, and with -the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad. It is thus seen that he played -a part in much of the important pioneer railroad development of the -mountain region of the West. - -In 1885, Mr. Engle began work on the location and construction of the -Chicago, Burlington, and Northern Railroad, now part of the Burlington -System, being located at St. Paul, Minn., as Assistant Chief Engineer -of that portion of the line north of La Crosse, Wis. Later, his -jurisdiction included the whole line. During 1887 and a part of 1888, -he had charge of the construction of the Illinois Valley and Northern -Railroad, as Chief Engineer, at La Salle, Ill. In the latter part of -1888 he conducted surveys for coal branch lines connecting with the -Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, in the mountains of West Virginia. - -Beginning in September, 1889, Mr. Engle was Resident Engineer on the -construction of the Louisville and Jeffersonville Bridge over the Ohio -River. During his term of service the substructure, involving several -deep pneumatic foundations, was built, and parts of the approaches -were erected. During his stay at Louisville Mr. Engle was selected as -Arbitrator in a matter of disputed classification between the company -and the contractor for the Pike's Peak Rack Railroad, and effected a -satisfactory settlement. Among other things his later service included -location work on the Tennessee Central Railroad, in 1892; location -and construction work for the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad, in -Arkansas; and construction work on the Tidewater Railroad, now the -Virginian Railway, at Princeton, W. Va. At the time of his death he was -employed as Engineer for the contracting firm of Carpenter and Boxley, -at Johnson City, Tenn. - -With the death of Robert L. Engle, the Profession loses one of those -sturdy, self-made engineers, to whom the country is largely indebted -for pushing railroad construction overland and through the West. In -character, rugged like the mountains with which he was associated, -he was still the gentlest of souls to those associated with him in -subordinate capacities. The writer knew him as Chief and friend for -many years, and cannot recall any departures from the lines of the -highest dignity, rectitude, good habits, and good nature. - -Mr. Engle was a Member of the Engineers' Club of Cincinnati from the -time of its organization. He maintained his home in Cincinnati for -twenty-one years, while his engagements kept him at various other -places. - -On February 20th, 1879, Mr. Engle married Miss Sallie McQueety, of -Cincinnati, and is survived by her and their son and two daughters. -His family and social relations were most happy, although his enforced -absences from home kept him from much of the social contact which his -qualities deserved. - -Mr. Engle was elected a Member of the American Society of Civil -Engineers on September 7th, 1881. - - -=CHARLES HERBERT DEANS, Assoc. M. Am. Soc. C. E.=[3] - -[3]Memoir prepared by Emil Diebitsch and Edwin S. Jarrett, Members, Am. -Soc. C. E. - -DIED MARCH 7TH, 1909. - -Charles Herbert Deans was born in Chester, Delaware County, Pa., on -November 30th, 1863, and died at his home in Ph[oe]nixville, Pa., on -March 7th, 1909. - -His father, Charles Woodbury Deans, was prominent in educational work, -and was active in the early organization and in the popularization of -the Common School System of the State of Pennsylvania. - -On his father's side Mr. Deans was descended from the Deans and -Sterling families, who, immediately following the War of the -Revolution, emigrated from Connecticut to Susquehanna and Wyoming -Counties, Pennsylvania. His mother was Priscilla Lyons Williams, of -Chester, Delaware County, Pa., who was descended from the Lyons family -of New Jersey and the Williams and Pennell families of Pennsylvania. - -From both his father and his mother Mr. Deans inherited a taste and -aptitude for study. His youthful environment was among books and in an -atmosphere which naturally encouraged the desire he early formed to fit -himself for a professional life. - -His education was begun in private schools, but later he attended -the public schools, and was graduated from the High School at -Ph[oe]nixville, Pa., in 1881. He spent the next four years in practical -work, learning business methods, becoming an excellent and accurate -accountant, and familiarizing himself, in the works of the Ph[oe]nix -Iron Company, with mill and shop methods and practice, and the -metallurgy of iron and steel. - -In 1885, Mr. Deans entered Lehigh University, well prepared in his -studies, with a mind ripe for the absorption of further knowledge, and -a temperament for enjoying to the utmost the four years of University -life before him. He was a good student, standing well up in the first -quarter of his class. He was elected a member of Theta Delta Chi -Fraternity, was one of the Editors and Assistant Business Manager of -the college Annual in his Junior year, and Business Manager of the -Engineering Journal in his Senior year. He was graduated in 1889 with -the degree of C. E. - -As a boy Mr. Deans was fond of games and all healthy outdoor sports. -He was a lover of Nature and of animals, fond of fishing and hunting, -and was never happier than when roaming the beautiful woods and -mountains of his native State. With such tastes it was natural to -find him, in his college days, a participator in, and an enthusiastic -supporter of, athletic games. - -Not only in athletics, but in all things pertaining to Lehigh -University, Mr. Deans was a most loyal and enthusiastic son of his -Alma Mater, both at college and after he had gone out into the world. -He thoroughly appreciated the benefits derived from his technical -training, and was so eager that others should share them, that early in -his business career he advanced sufficient funds to two ambitious young -men to carry them through Lehigh. - -Immediately after graduation Mr. Deans entered the employ of Sooysmith -and Company, the well-known foundation engineers and contractors. He -rapidly advanced to positions of responsibility with this company, and, -in 1895, became its Vice-President and Chief Executive Officer. When, a -year or two later, Charles Sooysmith, M. Am. Soc. C. E., retired from -active business, Mr. Deans organized, from the Sooysmith and Company -staff, the Engineering Contract Company, of which he became President. -Pressure of business seriously undermining his health, he was forced to -give up temporarily all work in 1900, and to spend the next two years -in the mountains of Northern Pennsylvania. On regaining his health, he -associated himself with the firm of John Monks and Son, of New York -City, and, at the time of his death, he was Second Vice-President of -that company. - -While under his executive charge, both Sooysmith and Company and -the Engineering Contract Company, constructed a number of the most -important bridge foundations in the United States, and the former firm -first successfully introduced pneumatic work in the foundations of the -modern high office buildings of New York City, notably the Manhattan -Life, Washington Life, Standard Oil, and Empire Buildings on Lower -Broadway. At the time of his death, Mr. Deans was in full charge of the -building of the piers of the reconstructed Baltimore and Ohio bridge -over the Susquehanna River, at Havre de Grace, Md. - -In the early years of his connection with Sooysmith and Company, -Mr. Deans was employed on work in the field, rising from subordinate -positions to that of Superintendent in responsible charge of work. -During this period he acquired an intimate and practical knowledge of -foundation construction, and his subsequent career gave evidence of -the value of this training. Being thus well-equipped, Mr. Deans soon -became notable as a business engineer. His judgment on all substructure -engineering problems was quick and keen, his thorough technical -knowledge being supplemented by his penetrating practical sense. His -business ability was of a high order, and his efficiency was largely -increased by his industry and methodical habits. As a negotiator, he -was in the first rank. His quick appreciation of the essentials in -business transactions, his fertile resource in the most complicated -financial dealings, his patience and persistence in the face of -discouragement or delay, and his inflexible determination when once his -decisions were reached, were qualities which placed him in the highest -rank as a contracting engineer. To those with whom he came in close -contact, Mr. Deans will always be remembered as exemplifying the ideal -combination of technical training with business efficiency. - -He lightened the seriousness of his business transactions with a -quick sense of fun, a fondness for a good story, and an infectious -good humor. His genuine interest in the work of his associates and -his unfeigned delight in their success won him many friendships which -lasted throughout his life and which now keep his memory warm in the -hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him intimately. -Strong of will, keen and clear-sighted in business transactions, loyal -to his friends and to the interests entrusted to him, he was, above -all, a genial, honorable, many-sided man, who loved his fellow men. - -Mr. Deans leaves a mother, Mrs. Charles W. Deans, of Ph[oe]nixville, -Pa., a brother, John Sterling Deans, M. Am. Soc. C. E., Chief Engineer -of the Ph[oe]nix Bridge Company, and two sisters, Mrs. R. Barclay -Calley, of Seattle, Wash., and Mrs. Elmer E. Keiser, of Tacony, Pa. - -In 1893, Mr. Deans married Miss Helen Arnold of West Chester, Pa., who, -with two sons, Charles Woodbury, aged 15, and Malcolm Arnold, aged 13, -survives him. - -Mr. Deans was elected a Junior of the American Society of Civil -Engineers, on December 3d, 1890, and an Associate Member on May 6th, -1896. - - -=WILLIAM MEIER, Assoc. M. Am. Soc. C. E.=[4] - -[4] Memoir prepared by William A. Theodorsen and E. James Fucik, -Associate Members, Am. Soc. C. E. - -DIED FEBRUARY 14TH, 1910. - -William Meier, the son of the Reverend Jacob L. and Mary Meier, was -born in Muscatine, Iowa, on April 10th, 1878, the family moving to -Chicago, Ill., in the same year. - -Mr. Meier received his education in the public schools of Chicago and -at the University of Illinois, from which he was graduated in 1901, -with the degree of B. S. in Civil Engineering. - -After his graduation, Mr. Meier was engaged with various firms, -principally in bridge and structural work. For a time he was with -William M. Hughes, M. Am. Soc. C. E., and in January, 1905, he entered -the service of the Scherzer Rolling Lift Bridge Company, as Assistant -in the Chicago office; and later was appointed Assistant Engineer and -Eastern Representative, with headquarters in New York City. At the time -of his death, Mr. Meier was employed in the Bridge Department of the -Chicago and North Western Railway. - -On February 14th, 1910, in diving from a spring-board, in the -natatorium of the Young Men's Christian Association, he struck his head -against the side or bottom of the tank. When his body was taken from -the water, life was extinct, and all efforts at resuscitation were -futile. - -Mr. Meier took great interest in all that pertained to his profession. - -He was elected an Associate Member of the American Society of Civil -Engineers, on June 1st, 1909. He was also a Member of the Western -Society of Engineers. - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Transactions of the American Society -of Civil Engineers, vol.
