The bioigraphies above are the result of considerable
research. In order to get enough names for all the streets
and to keep the alphabetical sequence used in naming the
streets, it was necessary to use names of deceased Army
Engineers who either were not paraticularly prominent or on
whom Libraries in this territory had no biographical
material. Those named are listed below:
Atkins Avenue,
Caples Street,
Davenport Street,
Downing Street,
Endress Street,
Falley Street,
Guthrie Avenue,
Iry Street,
Jewett Street,
Johnston Avenue,
