J. Clarke (Publisher, 1922) ALFRED MAJENDIE LUND. Alfred Majendie Lund of the civil engineering firm of Lund & Hill of Little Rock, comes to this state from Tennessee. He was born in the city of Louisville, July 8, 1879. He is of English ancestry, his parents being Harry M. and 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" and in 1869 they were married. They became parents of three sons and two daughters, of whom one son died in infancy and one daughter died after reaching adult years. Mr. and Mrs. Lund became residents of Decatur, now Albany, Alabama. He devoted his life to railroad work and 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, Tennessee, and in 1902 was graduated from the Vanderbilt University with the degree of Bachelor of Engineering. Soon afterward he came to Little Rock, Arkansas, where he has since followed his profession and is now widely known as a civil and consulting engineer. He displays marked ability in the line of his chosen profession and has been identified with many of the most important engineering projects executed in this section of the country. He belongs to the American Society of Civil Engineers and also to the American Association of Engineers. Mr. Lund was married November 15, 1911, to Arline House, a native of Searcy, Arkansas, and a daughter of Joseph W. House. She is a graduate of Goucher College at Baltimore, Maryland. During the World war Mr. Lund was at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, and in April, 1918, was assigned to Camp Humphreys, Virginia, near Alexandria, with the rank of major. He was on detached service and in July, 1918, he was transferred to Camp Hancock, Georgia, as camp engineer. He continued with the army until January, 1919. His political endorsement has always been given to the democratic party, but the honors and 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 and belongs to the Delta Kappa Epsilon. In club circles, too, he is well known, being a popular and representative member of the Engineers' Club, the Spring Lake Club, the Country Club and the Kiwanis Club. He has many friends and is never too busy to be cordial, nor is he ever too cordial to be busy. The activities and interests of his life are well balanced and his genuine character worth has gained him high regard.
