Notes: Emil Gruenfeldt, 74, one-time automotive engineer for the Baker-Raulang Co., was found dead of a wound in the right temple yesterday at his apartment, 7100 Euclid Avenue. A 32-caliber revolver was lying near his left foot. Police said it appeared to be a suicide. The body was discovered by Erich W. Martienssen, 6275 Manchester Road, Parma, a friend of 50 years. Martienssen said Gruenfeldt was a native of Germany and attended a technical school in Rotterdam, Holland, before coming to the United States in 1902. He came to Cleveland a year later. Gruenfeldt once worked with Thomas A. Edison on a battery. He retired from Baker-Raulang 20 years ago and had since been a patent consultant, the friend said. A bachelor, Gruenfeldt left no known relatives. He had been suffering from cancer. Although he left no notes indicating suicide, he had previously written instructions telling how to dispose of his estate. He was a member of the Society of Automotive Engineers.
