  EDWIN D. OLMSTEAD, secretary and treasurer of the Decatur Iron Bridge and
Construction Co., was born in New York in 1855. His parents, L. J. and Mary W.
(Campbell) Olmstead, are natives of the same State.

  His father is, by occupation, an architect and builder, and has been a
resident of the South since 1866. He was for a time engaged in refining sugar in
New Orleans, but subsequently resumed his profession. In 1880 he came to Alabama
and is now a resident of Birmingham.

  E. D. Olmstead came South when a youth, and has always since been identified
with Southern interests. Although but a young man, he has achieved an honorable
business record in Birmingham, where he was a member of the firm of Olmstead &
Kiernan, which subsequently became Olmstead & Varney. After two years of
successful business in Birmingham, he disposed of his interest there to become
an officer in one of the leading corporate industries of Northern Alabama, the
duties of which he is now fulfilling in a most creditable manner.

  Mr. Olmstead was united in marriage in 1885, to Miss Annie Read, of New
Orleans. They are blessed with one child. He is a Mason, and a gentleman of the
most excellent character and reputation.
