Stamm, Charles H., 1901-1983

Charles H. Stamm (1901-1983) was born in Dayton, Ohio but his family moved to the Cincinnati basin area when he was only six months old. His father died while Stamm was still an infant. He attended Guilford School in downtown Cincinnati and Woodward High School. He then worked during the day as a surveyor and attended night classes at the University of Cincinnati.

In the early 1920s, Stamm worked for the City of Cincinnati's Department of Sewerage. He then moved to Florida where he worked with D.W. Caven, a subdivision engineer, the Sarasota County Engineering Department, and then the Southern Construction Engineering Company. In 1926, he returned to Cincinnati where he worked for Cincinnati Rapid Transit Commission during the construction of Central Parkway. During the late 1920s, Stamm worked for the Columbia Engineering and Management Corporation completing surveys for long distance electric lines. He was then an engineer for the Brynes-Conway Company when that firm built the section of the Millcreek Expressway (I-75) through Lockland and Carthage.
