LUNDHOLM, 51, San Bernardino. Mr. LUNDHOLM, it is said, was ill only a few days. He was well known in Las Vegas by a large number of railroad men and the older residents. He was a master mechanic at this point for the Salt Lake Railroad some time prior and at the time of the opening of the shops in this city in 1919(?). He was later succeeded by "Billy" Rogers, who is at present with the Southern Pacific at Los Angeles. Before coming to Las Vegas, Mr. LUNDHOLM was general foreman of the Santa Fe shops at San Bernardino, under Master Mechanic C. L. LAPE, and was very popular with the shop and road men. After leaving Las Vegas, he returned to San Bernardino and took charge of the big Hanford Iron works and was with them at the time of his death. It is with regret that this news has been received of Charles LUNDHOLM'S death. He was a man who was liked by all who came in contact with him. Charley LUNDHOLM was a square shooter and when he said he would do a thing he did it. The writer worked with Mr. LUNDHOLM on the Santa Fe at San Bernardino in 1901 and worked under him here in Las Vegas in 1919, and he was a man among a thousand. Charley LUNDHOLM, may your soul rest in peace. "Cold in the dust the perished heart may die, But that which warmed it once can never die."
