ALFRED MAJENDIE LUND
Alfred Majendie LUND of the civil engineering firm of Lund & Hill of Little Rock, comes to this state from Tenn. He was born in the city of Louisville, July 8, 1879. He is of English ancestry, his parents being Harry M. & Sarah Ann (STEPHENSON) LUND, both of whom were natives of England, the former born in Bradford, in 1846, while the latter was born in Cumberland , in 1847. Their youthful days were spent on the "Merrie Isle" & in 1869 they were married. They became the parents of 3 sons & 2 daughters, of whom one son died in infancy & one daughter died after reaching adult years. Mr. & Mrs. LUND became residents of Decatur, now Albany, Alabama. He devoted his life to RR work & gave his political allegiance to the democratic party. His death occurred in 1904. The mother is still living.

Alfred M. LUND acquired his early education in the public schools of Bowling Green, Kentucky, his family removing from Louisville to that city during his infancy. He afterward became a student in Webb Brothers Preparatory School at Bellbuckle, Tenn., and in 1902 was graduated from the Vanderbilt University with the degree of Bach. of Engineering. Soon afterward he came to Little Rock, Ark., where he has since followed his profession & is now widely known as a civil & consulting engineer. He displays marked ability in the line of his chosen profession & has been identified with many of the most important engineering projects executed in this section of the country. He belongs to the Amer. Soc. of Civil Engineers & also to the Amer. Assc. of Engineers.

Mr. LUND was married Nov. 15, 1911, to Arline HOUSE, a native of Searcy, Ark., & a daughter of Joseph W. HOUSE. She is a graduate of Goucher College at Baltimore, Md.

During the World war Mr. Lund was at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., & in April, 1918, was assigned to Camp Humphreys, Va., near Alexandria, with the rank of major. He was on detached service & in July, 1918, he was transferred to Camp Hancock, Ga. as camp engineer. He continued with the army until Jan., 1919. His political endorsement has always been given to the democratic party, but the honors & emoluments of office have had no attraction for him. His religious faith is that of the Presbyterian church, in which he is now serving as deacon. He is also a Master Mason & belongs to the Delta Kappa Epsilon. In club circles, too, he is well known, being a popular & representative member of the Engineer's Club, the Spring Lake Club, the Country Club & the Kiwanis Club. He has many friends & is never too busy to be cordial, nor is he ever too cordial to be busy. The activities & interests of his life are well balanced & his genuine charactor worth has gained him high regard.
