William Heerlein Lindley

My new post concerns the son of my last post - that is Willam Lindley's son William Heerlein Lindley. William Senior had three sons, all of whom went into civil engineering. William Heerlein was given his mother's maiden name as his middle name and was also heavily into engineering especially concerning water and sewage and especially in what is now Eastern Europe. I assume that he spoke fluent German which would stand him in good stead in Prague and Warsaw which were German-speaking at that time.

He worked with his father on the sewage system in Prague. The engine house and part of the sewers, no longer in use cane be visited.
