DEATH OF AN ENGINEER.
Randall Hunt.a Prominent Expert,
Succumbs in his Prime.
Randall Hunt, a prominent civil engineer on this coast, died early yesterday morning at his residence, 1001 Pierce street, after several weeks of illness, in which he was attended by Drs. Kerr and MacMonagle. He had won the deserved reputation of an expert and scientific engineer.
Graduating at Yale in 1876 with degrees in engineering and philosophy, his first work was on the New York public parks. Going to Dakota in 1878, he did much work in surveying and bridge building that brought him into notice. He came to San Francisco in 1888. Here he soon attracted attention by advocating the cofferdam system of laying concrete foundations at the foot of Market street in preference to the caisson system, and finally converted the Harbor Commissioners to his way of thinking. He was much interested in and oontributed to the professional literature of foundations for high buildings. Subsequently he did some very important and thorough work in dam building for the Turlock and Modesto irrigation districts, and about a year ago was the expert employed to investigate an estimate for the committee appointed by Congress to decide between the conflicting claims to harbor improvement at San Pedro and Santa Monica. Only 41 at his death, ho was last beginning to reap the rewards of his long study and growing reputation. He had a charming character and a reputation for spotless integrity. His family was widely known, especially in the South, where Mr. Hunt's namesake, Randall Hunt, was for years one of the foremost members of the bar. His death will be deeply regretted by a wide circle of friends. His immediate family were with him at the end and also his brother. Judge William H. Hunt of the Montana Supreme Court. The funeral will be held from St. Luke's Church tomorrow.
