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.
