- Louis W., b. Nov. 16, 1871; d. Sept. 20, 1876.
- Alfred R., b. Feb. 8, 1876; m. M. Lillian Messig.
Louis Y. Schermerhorn was born at Greenwich, N. Y. He studied Civil Engineering at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy, N. Y., 1860-3, and was graduated, with the degree of C. E. from Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., in 1864. He engaged in railroad survey and construction in N. Y., and Ohio, 1864-66, and was Division Engineer on the construction of Prospect Park, Brooklyn, N. Y., 1866-69. He was Chief Engineer of the Riverside Improvement Company, Illinois, 1869-73, and was Chief Engineer of the Chicago and Great Western R. R., 1873-4. He was assistant Engineer on works of river and harbor improvement in Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, New York, Vermont, Pennsylvania, New York & Delaware, 1874-91. He was a member of the U. S. Engineer Commission for the improvement of Wilmington Harbor, Delaware, in 1891, and was a member of the Engineer Commission for the Protection of Williamsport, Pa., against Floods, in 1895. He was a member of the Commission for the survey of the Canal Route between Philadelphia and New York in 1894, and from 1891 until his death was president of the American Dredging Co. of Philadelphia, a firm specializing in harbor improvement. He was President of the Engineers' Club of Philadelphia in 1898 and was a director of the Philadelphia Board of Trade from 1893 until his death. He was also a director of the Philadelphia Maritime Exchange from 1892 until his death, and had been a Member of the American Soc. of Civil Engineers since 1897.
Louis Y. Schermerhorn had a wide and varied career and for many years his professional duties required of him many changes of residence. Finally, settling in Philadelphia in 1891, he became president of a contracting firm and specializing in work in which his large experience had made him expert, his fortunes rose with the success of the firm. In his later days he thus reaped the results of the long years of untiring application, and obtained the proper recognition of his unquestionable ability. He was a prominent man in engineering circles; and particularly prominent in that branch of his profession connected with the improvement of rivers and harbors, and works of a character allied to this.
He was a gracious and kindly gentleman and while of dignified mien, was not possessed of the artificial formality which is so often associated with certain forms of so-called politeness. Louis Y. Schermerhorn was a gentleman of the old school, so few of them found in this day, and he was a representative Schermerhorn.
He made an extended study of the Schermerhorn Genealogy during the last decade or so of his life. With just so much precision as he gave to engineering problems, the same he gave to his genealogical researches, and his results as set forth in the brochure, published in 1903 and treating of his individual branch of the family and our common ancestor, is an able treatise. It has been of great assistance to the editor of this work, in framing his own material.
Holden B. Schermerhorn, eldest son of Louis Y., was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1890, with degree of Ph.D. He immediately entered the Law School of the same University and was graduated with a degree of LL.B. in 1893. He is a member of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity. He practiced law in Philadelphia up to a few years ago and is now a resident of New York City. He has traveled extensively in Europe.
Rena Schermerhorn was graduated from Smith College in 1904, and now resides with her family at Syracuse, N. Y. She has four children, Romenia Schermerhorn, b. Sept. 5, 1904; Samuel Sidney, b. Feb. 13, 1906; Laura Shepard, b. Apr. 6, 1910, and Louis Y. Schermerhorn, b. May 6, 1912.
Alfred R. Schermerhorn was educated at the Hill School at Pottstown, Pa. He is at present Secretary of the Peters Co., of Philadelphia, Illustrators and Engravers.

William Ten Broeck Schermerhorn learned the printer's trade on the Palmyra (N. Y.) Sentinel; he set type in that office on the first Mormon Bible. He also worked on Utica, N. Y., and Troy, N. Y., newspapers and assisted in getting out the first issue of the Wayne Democratic Press of Lyons, N. Y. He went to Hudson, Mich., in 1858, and established the Hudson Gazette, which became a prosperous and influential newspaper under his guidance. The paper remained in the family 50 years. Mr. Schermerhorn was an acknowledged leader in the Democratic Party in Michigan.
James Schermerhorn was born in Hudson, Mich., his early education being obtained in the public schools at Hudson, and the preparatory department of Oberlin College. In 1884 he won a West Point cadetship in a competitive examination, but on account of the death of his father at the close of that year and the failing health of his elder brother, his resignation was made necessary, and he returned to Hudson to assist in the maintaining of the Hudson Gazette, his father's paper. He ran this paper until 1895, when he turned it over to his younger brothers. Soon after this he went to Detroit, and after five years' experience as advertising solicitor, reporter, Washington correspondent and editorial writer in Detroit, he established his own newspaper, calling it first To-Day, and later, The Times. The Times is a newspaper conducted with high journalist-ideals and is highly thought of in the community where it is well known. James Schermerhorn has been called to nearly every large city of the country to expound his conception of journalistic and advertising ethics. He has addressed the National Convention of the Associated Advertising Clubs of America several times, — at Louisville in 1909, in Boston in 1911 and in Dallas, Texas, in 1912. He is president of the Michigan Press Association, superintendent of the First Congressional Sunday School and member of the State Executive Committee of the Y. M. C. A. He holds the official position of president and general manager of the Detroit Times.
