Clarence Moberly
Clarence Wishaw Moberly (1838–1902) was a Canadian civil engineer.
Born at Penetanguishene, Upper Canada. He was the fourth son of Capt. John Moberly.[1] His brothers Walter and Frank were also civil engineers.
Moberly was for many years chief engineer of the Northern Railway of Canada, from Toronto to Collingwood. From 1868, he was a director of the Rama Timber Transport Company. In November 1873, he was presented with a cheque for $800 and a writing desk from the staff and management of the Northern Railway as a parting gift.[2]
He resigned from the Northern Railway in 1875 to become the contractor of the Northern Extensions Railway to Gravenhurst. Following its completion later that year, he became chief engineer of James David Edgar's Ontario & Pacific Junction Railway, and proposed to build a connection from there to the proposed Canadian Pacific Railway. The O & P J railway was never built.
In 1889, he was the chief engineer and general manager of the Kootenai Railway and Navigation Company.[3]
In early 1890, he was thought to have died in the Johnstown Flood when he hadn't been heard from.[4]
Moberly died on 21 October 1902 in St Louis, Missouri.[5][6] He was 68.[5]
