Former Resident Had Achieved Remarkable Success In Life
News has been received here of the death of Mark A. Waldo who died suddenly
of heart failure in Bartow, Florida, which has been his home for over twenty
years.
Mr. Waldo was born in Manitowoc August 1, 1859 and was educated in the local
schools, having been a member of the third class which graduated from the old
North Side High school. He was a graduate of the University of Wisconsin in
1884 and for many years followed his profession as a civil engineer.
Decedent is survived by his widow and daughter, Dorothy, by one son, Lieut,
George E. Waldo of Hampton, Virginia and by one granddaughter. Also sisters,
Mrs. Edward H. Ross, Mausfield, Pa. and Miss Flora Waldo who lives in the old
homestead, where Mr. Waldo was born and reared. One brother also survives,
being George F. Waldo of Chicago.
Mr. Waldo was a member of the Episcopal church and affiliated with the Masons,

The body will arrive here on Monday for interment at Evergreen but funeral
arrangements have not yet been completed.
Reviewing the life of Mr. Waldo, he achieved a reputation as specialist in the
sub-structure of bridges. He was assistant engineer and enjoyed the distinction
of being engaged in the construction of the first railroad bridge built across
the Mississippi at Memphis, Tenn.
In 1904 Mr. Waldo left his profession to enter the field of phosphate mining in
Poly County, the center of the phosphate mines of Florida. At the time he took
up this work, he had just been offered the position of chief engineer of the Sea
Board ___ from Miami to Key West. One reason for his change of profession was
because of the particular hazards incident to the construction work.
Deceased was possessed of a remarkable personality and deep sympathy will be
extended to the bereaved family.
