their child. In 1894, he married Frances McKay, a fellow Theosophist, to whom he remained married until his death on January 27, 1910. Career Schwagerl was responsible for either the original design of or improvements to a variety of public and private parks and buildings throughout his career. Missouri Schwagerl was working in and around St. Louis, Missouri, by 1870. Up the river at Hannibal, he designed the grounds for Mt. Olivet Cemetery, where Mark Twain had his parents and brothers interred a few years later. In 1873, he oversaw improvements to the grounds of the North Missouri State Normal School (now Truman State University). He also worked on the layout of Lindell Boulevard and Vandeventer Place in St. Louis. Ohio Between 1875 and 1876, Schwagerl worked on the design of Riverside Cemetery in Cleveland, on which ground was broken in April 1876. Sufficient progress had been made by that November for the cemetery to be inaugurated in a ceremony that featured guests, among them Schwagerl and President-elect Rutherford B. Hayes, each planting a tree that was dedicated in their honor. His work "was widely regarded as one of the most notable new cemetery designs of the era." John D. Rockefeller hired Schwagerl in 1880 to survey his property at Forest Hill, and again in 1881 to lay out the grounds and drives of his mansion on Cleveland's Millionaires' Row. During this same period, Schwagerl was working on improving park land belonging to William J. Gordon that was later given to the city and is now known as Gordon Park. Following up his work on Riverside Cemetery, he also helped design a chapel at Woodland Cemetery in 1880. In 1882, Schwagerl designed improvements to Monumental Square (now Public Square) that included a new stone speakers' platform called the Oratorium, and later that year was commissioned by the city of Cleveland to lay out Wade Park on land willed to the city by industrialist Jeptha Wade. He served as Superintendent of Parks for Cleveland from January 1883 until his resignation in 1884. South Carolina In March 1878, while Schwagerl was living in Philadelphia, the Secretary of State of South Carolina engaged him to design the grounds of the State House, which had remained unfinished due to the Civil War and Reconstruction. His design, in Beaux-Arts style, was implemented by April of the following year. Oregon Schwagerl's first commission in the Pacific
