In Memoriam
It is with great regret that we report
the death of Fred Joseph Mechlin at
Shreveport, La., on Sunday, January 6,
1974.
Mr. Mechlin was one of the twelve or
less professional and/or teaching chem-
ists in the Shreveport area during the
late 1920's and middle 1930's. These men
were the frontiersmen of chemistry in
this area until the late thirties and kept
the torch of chemical knowledge and
application glowing with promise until
the impetus of World War II accelerated
the chemical development and advance
of our times.
Mr. Mechlin was born on February 18,
1889 in Mercer County, Pa. He was edu-
cated at Allegheny College in Meadville,
Pa., going on to Kansas University as
professor and special student from 1920
to 1924. He came to the Shreveport-
Bossier City area and assumed the posi-
tion of Chief Chemist of the Bossier
Refinery of the Louisiana Oil Refining
Corporation, which later became the
Arkansas Fuel Oil Corporation, a sub-
sidiary of Cities Service. Leaving labora-
tory activity he was appointed managerSOUTHWEST RETORT
