KAEDING, Henry B.
KAEDING, Henry Barroilhet (1877-1913) was born in San Francisco, the son of Charles V. Kaeding, one of the city's pioneer merchants, and Frances Caroline Ladd. He attended the California School of Mechanical Arts. [The seven mechanical arts were: weaving, blacksmithing, war, navigation, agriculture, hunting, medicine, and the ars theatrica.] Kaeding became interested in chemistry and mining and became a mining engineer.
Kaeding became friends with ornithologist, Chester Barlow, who led Kaeding to join the Condor Ornithological Club in 1895. In 1908 he authored the first ten-year index to The Condor.
Kaeding's younger brother was Charles Deering Kaeding (1880-1942), and he too collected in Lower California.
Kaeding died in Los Angeles on June 13, 1913. He was 36 years old. 
Kaeding Petrel (Oceanodroma leucorhoa kaeding), a petrel in Lower California, is named in his honor.

February 1897 [The Nidiologist 4(6):67]: “Mr. A. W. Anthony has sailed from San Diego on a five months collecting cruise in Mexican waters. He will visit this time a number of islands in the Gulf of California. He is accompanied on the expedition by Richard C. McGregor of Palo Alto and H. B. Kaeding of San Francisco. Some excellent work no doubt will be accomplished.”
November 29, 1900 [Santa Cruz Sentinel]: “An interesting incident connected with the wedding of Henry B. Kaeding and Mary C. Hubbard, formerly of Santa Cruz, at Nagasaki, was that the wedding ring was made of pure gold with no alloy. One-third of the gold came from Chitabalbe, one-third from Taibaworie, and one-third from Kuk-song-dong, the three gold producing mines of Korea. The gold was bought by the groom, who hammered it into ring shape. He then took it to Nagasaki where it was trued and polished. It had a handsome dead gold finish and was the size of two ordinary wedding rings.”

There being no trees they nest on the ground every ghundred yards or so, but it is too early.

I got fifteen Black Turnstones with one shot.' ” The Nidologist 4(9):109 May 1897
