1847. After the death of his father, Henry continued to work with the cemetery surveying the property until July 1854, when the board of directors, facing a decision on the location of avenues through the cemetery, told Henry his services were no longer needed. 28The boards decision bothered Henry greatly. In response, he addressed a letter to the board expressing his discontent and desire to continue with the survey of the grounds. The board responded that the suspension was not given out of any feelings of hostility to or dissatisfaction, and though the board members had no objections to Henry continuing the survey of the cemetery grounds, it would have to wait until the decision concerning the location of the new avenues was made. 29Henry did, eventually, continue surveying the cemetery grounds when he was elected superintendent of the cemetery on June 21, 1856. 30In 1859, his position title changed to superintendent of burials and Adolf Strauch became superintendent of the grounds. 31Henry held the superintendent post until he resigned in December 1859. 32After his time at Spring Grove Cemetery, Henry Earnshaw continued working as a surveyor, draughtsman, and civil engineer, and in 1865, he became an engineer and surveyor for the Cincinnati Water Works. In 1868, he was named the Water Works hydroelectric engineer, 33and in 1871, he earned the title superintendent of the Water Works Department. 34Henry held this position until 1873 but continued his profession as a hydroelectric engineer independently until he joined brother Josephs engineering firm in 1882 as an engineer and surveyor. 35He died four years later on August 8, 1886 due to brights of kidneys, leaving behind his wife, Catherine Elizabeth, and sons Thomas and Charles. 36Joseph and Henrys younger brother, John (1837-1868) was a prominent architect and civil engineer as well. As an architect, he is most well-known for designing the original Hughes High School. Completed in 1853 and constructed in the Tudor-Gothic Revival style, the school was the second public school in Cincinnati, located on Fifth Street opposite Mound Street in the west end of Cincinnati. 37Like his brothers, John also gained early employment with Spring Grove Cemetery, drafting and drawing the grounds during the first half of the 1850s. 38John received a patent in 1862 for his invention of a new design for a monument.39He died from injuries sustained when he was thrown from his buggy while visiting Springfield, Ohio, on May 1, 1868. His wife, Miriam, and sons, John T. and Harry, survived John. 4019
