Mr. Latham was born in Phoenixville, Conn., June 5, 1859 and was a graduate at Yale University in 1882, at the head of his class.

During the greater part of his career, he was employed on the surface roads and elevated roads of Manhattan and Brooklyn, large sections of these structures being monuments to his painstaking ability.

The funeral services were held last evening, at 30 Lafayette avenue. The interment was at Bellport, L.I.
