W. H. MARRIOTT DEAD
Came Of Family That Gave Many Distinguished Men To State.
IN POOR HEALTH FOR YEARS
Was Architect, Engineer And Bridge Builder And Associate Of The Late Charles H. Latrobe.
William Hammond Marriott, architect, engineer and bridge builder and associate of the late Charles H. Latrobe, died early yesterday morning at his home, 1014 North Calvert street, of hemorrhage of the brain. For 14 years Mr. Marriott had been retired from professional life because of poor health, though he had not been seriously ill but a few weeks. His death had been expected several days.
Of a family which had given the State a long line of distinguished sons, he was born in Baltimore. His father was the late John McKim Marriott, and his grand-father, Gen. William H. Marriott, was Collector of the Port of Baltimore in 1844. His great-grandfather was John McKim, Jr., one of the wealthiest merchants of this city in the early part of the last century, an extensive owner of clipper ships, and at one time president of the Merchants' National Bank.
Maj. Gen. Hammond of Same Family
One of the most celebrated members of Mr. Marriott's family was Major-General John Hammond, of Anne Arundel county, who was a member of the Maryland House of Burgesses and chief of the crown's forces for the western shore of the State. Mr. Marriott's mother was Miss Mary Wilson, member of the family which gave William Wilson to the banking community. She was a sister of Rev. Franklin Wilson and of James Wilson, whose residence stood on the site of the present Mount Vernon Place Methodist Episcopal church.
In early life Mr. Marriott engaged in railroad construction work in the West, but returned to this city and began practicing his profession of architecture. Later he associated himself with Mr. Latrobe and was identified with the building of the bridges at Calvert and St. Paul streets over Jones' falls. Many of the retaining walls of the falls were erected under Mr. Marriott's direction. These will be replaced soon, for the most part, by the sewers which will carry the flow under the new avenue now under construction.
Built Many Structures.
When Mr. Latrobe was engineer for the Park Board Mr. Marriott built the casino and observatory at Patterson Park. He planned also the First Baptist Church and Fuller Memorial Baptist Church, besides several of the city's handsomest residences
Besides his relatives, whom he numbered among the Veazey, Wilson, Hammond, Goldsborough and other prominent families, he had a large circle of friends. His disposition was kindly and he was particularly fond of his home.
He married Miss Aline T. Bracco, of Talbot county. He is survived by his widow, one daughter, Mrs. George L. Radcliffe ; a brother, Crittenden Marriott, of Washington, and a sister, Miss May Marriott, of Louisville, Ky.
