R. L. Ireland 1868-1928 Robert Livingston Ireland, one time member of M. A. Hanna & Co., and vice president of the American Ship Building Co., Cleveland, was found dead in his apartment at the Hotel Seymour, New York City, Feb. 17, with four bullet wounds in his body. The case was pronounced suicide by Dr. Charles Cassasa, assistant medical police examiner. Mr. Ireland was 60 years old and had been in poor health for consid- erable time. He was born at Strat- ford, Conn. and was graduated from Yale in 1890. He then entered the employ of the Cleveland Hardware Co., Cleveland. Two years later he organized the Hackney Bicycle Co. but soon went to the Globe Iron Works, Cleveland. He also was an official of several dry dock and shipping companies, and in 1899 he became vice president of the American Ship Building Co. He resigned that position in 1903 to become a member of the firm of M. A. Hanna & Co. He retired from active business in 1917. Robert J Aspin Dies The death in Florida on Feb. 14 of R. J. Aspin who had been super- intendent of the National Tube Co.’s dock at Lorain, O., since its opening in 1899, came as a shock to his large circle of friends among the vessel men, as he was one of the best known and well liked men on the Great Lakes. He conducted his duties in an efficient manner and was always willing to do a service for the ships and the men who called at his dock. He leaves a widow and one daughter.
