Private funeral services for Nelson J. Darling, 58, manager of the General Electric Company plants at Lynn and Everett, will be held tomorrow afternoon at his home, 96 Beach Bluff avenue, Swampscott. He died yesterday after a long illness.
A native of Toronto, Mr. Darling was the son of the late Henry W. Darling, for many years treasurer of the General Electric Company. He was graduated from Cornell University in 1907, where he specialized in mechanical and electrical engineering. As a student engineer with the General Electric Company, he went to the Panama Canal Zone two years later and assisted the Dodge & Day company in the installation of electrical apparatus.
During the world war, he worked at the company's Erie works, where he designed turbines for naval craft, as well as projectiles for the British and Russian governments.
He was assistant manager of the Erie Works in 1918, and four years later became manager of the General Electric Rivers Works plant in Lynn. His appointment as manager of the West Lynn plant came in 1935.
He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, Tedesco Country Club, Eastern Yacht Club and the Mohawk Country Club at Schenectady.
Besides his widow, Mrs. Jeanette Darling, he leaves a son, Nelson J. Darling, Jr., and a daughter, Phyllis Darling, all of Swampscott; three sisters, Mrs. E.O. Warner of Narberth, Pa., Mrs. Arthur W. Henshaw and Mrs. R.P. Coggshall, both of Schenectady; and two brothers, H.M. Darling of Bronxville, N.Y. and A. Greene Darling of Schenectady.
