Born in Dexter, Maine, on April 30, 1868, Henry Neely Ogden became an American civil and sanitary engineer whose work centered on public health and infrastructure. A Cornell memorial notes that he later served on the university faculty, and Cornell sources identify him as Professor of Sanitary Engineering.
Ogden was a graduate of Cornell, and university materials describe him as a professor of civil engineering there from 1898 to 1938. He wrote books including Sewer Construction, Sewer Design, and Rural Hygiene, works that reflect his interest in sanitation, engineering practice, and everyday health.
He died on September 29, 1947. While reliable sources confirm his academic career and publications, I did not find a clearly verifiable portrait image on the pages available here, so no profile image is included.
