Rites Conducted For Dr. Modjeski Famous Bridge Engineer and Son of Noted Actress Called by Death Private funeral services were conducted Friday in Los Angeles for Dr. Ralph Modjeski, world-renowned bridge builder and son of the late Helena Modjeska, famed actress who once made her home in Anaheim. Dr. Modjecki died at his Los Angeles home last Wednesday. He was 79 years old. Dr. Modjeski, a native of Cracow, Poland, was the recipient of many honors and medals from many foreign governments. He was considered the most noted bridge builder in the world and was chairman of the board of consulting engineers for the San Francisco-Oakland bay bridge. He also designed and constructed four large bridges across the Columbia and Willamette rivers, the Thebes bridge in Illinois, the bridge at Pontchartrain, La., the Philadelphia-Camden bridge and the one across the Mississippi river at Memphis. In addition to his engineering feats, Dr. Modjeski was also noted as a pianist. He studied piano at Cracow under the elder Hofmann, father of Joseph Hofmann, and was a fellow student of Paderewski with whom he went to Paris to continue his studies. It was while he was in Paris that he became interested in engineering and was graduated from Ecole des Ponts et Chausees. Dr. Modjeski visited occasionally in Orange county while his famous mother resided here. His original name was Modresjewski, but when he was naturalized in 1833 he took the name of Modjeski, the masculine form of his Obituaries VIVIAN DANIEL GROOVER Funeral services for Vivian Daniel Groover, 59, were conducted this afternoon (Wednesday) from the chapel of Backs-Terry and Campbell, with burial being made in Fairhaven cemetery.
