Edward Otto Schwagerl was born in Bavaria in 1842 and immigrated to the U.S. in 1854.[7] He worked as a landscape architect in Omaha in 1868-1869 and in Lincoln in 1887-1888. In between his Nebraska contacts, he lived and worked in St. Louis and in Cleveland. From Lincoln he moved to Washington state where he died in 1910.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Notes
a. Not found in federal census in Nebraska in 1860 or 1870.
b. Schwagerl wrote a column published in a Lincoln, Nebraska newspaper on Christmas Day, 1887, describing how the city might develop "a Complete System of Parks and Boulevards." In February 1888 it was reported that "Mr. E. O. Schwagerl, the landscape architect and engineer, is snugly ensconced in room 10, Barr-Lamaster block, 1327 O street, where he will be pleased to receive friends and patrons." In March, his wife and child arrived in Lincoln but by July, the family's imminent departure for "the Washington territory" was announced.[4][9][10]
c. The city directory of 1896 for Tacoma, Washington lists Schwagerl as "Landscape Architect and Engineer also Landscape Architect for Puget Sound University and University Land Co, 604 Washington Bldg, res same."[2]
d. The San Francisco Call published an obituary for Schwagerl in 1910: "Seattle, Jan. 28.--Edward O. Schwagerl, designer of the park and boulevard systems of Cleveland and Seattle, who laid out Lindell boulevard, St. Louis, died here last night, aged 68 years. Point Defiance and Wright parks, Tacoma, were planned by him."[8]
e. On the 4th of July, 1888, Nebraska State Journal reported "Prof. E. O. Schwagerl, the landscape engineer who has been at work for a number of months in laying out Grand View, has completed his engagement for the company, and in a day or two will leave with his family for Washington territory."[10] An advertisement for Grandview Residence Park in 1891, complete with a map for the tract with a central College Campus and curvilinear roadways, states: "Designed by E. O. Schwagerl, the most eminent landscape engineer in the United States, it will rapidly be beautified and developed into the most ornamental suburb of Lincoln."[11]
