Kuolleita. Torstaina kuoli täällä ent. musiikkikauppias Axel E. Lindgren 8 vuoden ikäisenä. Musikkipintonsa alkoi hän Gankaugen oppilaana jatkaen niitä Leipzigissä. Ulkomailta palattuaan oli hän viulusellistinä ruotsalaisen teatterin orkesterissa kokonaista 17 vuotta toimien samalla saksalaisen seurakunnan urkurina. Mainituista toimista erottuaan otti hän haltuunsa Beuermannin musiikkikaupan yhdistäen siihen myöskin sävellyskustannusliikkeen. Vainajaa surevat lähinnä lapset, lastenlapset ja sisarukset.

I går avded härstädes förre musikhandlaren Axel E. Lindgren i en ålder av 83 år. Lindgren gjorde sina första musikaliska lärospån som elev vid Ganzauges orkester åren 1854—55. Då orkestern sommaren 1855 upphörde, fortsatte L. sina lektioner i piano och orgelspel för Ganzauge till år 1858, då han jämte musikerna E. Fahlman, Åhman, Kristian Vetzell, G. Linsén och F. von Sohantz reste med statsstipendium till Leipzig för vidare utbildning. Vid konservatoriet i nämnda stad studerade han violoncellspel för Fr. Grutzmacher samt musik i övrigt för Fr. Richter. Efter återkomsten till Helsingfors erhöll Lindgren anställning som violoncellist vid Svenska teaterns (då benämnd „Nya teatern*) orkester, vilken plats han innehade 17 år. Samtidigt var han under 17 år orgelnist i tyska församlingen. År 1877 avgick han både från orkestern och tyska kyrkan. På 1860talet fungerade hr Lindgren även som sänglärane vid privata svenska lyceet härstädes. År 1877 tillhandlade han sig av hr E. Lindblad den Beuermannska musikaliehandeln, till vilken han fogade en musikförlagsaffär, som från en ringa början nådde ansenliga dimensioner. Hans många lnlägg för befrämjandet av den inhemska tonkonsten ha blivit beaktade och år 1914 kallades han till hedersledamot av Konstnärsgillet Gladlynt, sympatisk och rättfram gjorde sig Lindgren omtyckt i vida kretsar. Närmast sörjes han av barn och barnbarn samt systrar.

Former music dealer Axel E. Lindgren passed away yesterday at the age of 83. Lindgren made his first musical lessons as a student at Ganzauge's orchestra in 1854-55. When the orchestra ceased in the summer of 1855, L. continued his lessons in piano and organ playing for Ganzauge until 1858, when he, together with the musicians E. Fahlman, Åhman, Kristian Vetzell, G. Linsén and F. von Sohantz, traveled with a state scholarship to Leipzig for further education . At the conservatory in the said city, he studied violoncello for Fr. Grutzmacher and music in general for Fr. Richter. After returning to Helsinki, Lindgren obtained employment as a cellist in the orchestra of the Swedish Theater (then called the "New Theatre*)", a position he held for 17 years. At the same time, he was an organist in the German congregation for 17 years. In 1877 he resigned from both the orchestra and the German church. In the 1860s, Mr. Lindgren also worked as a bed teacher at the private Swedish lyceum here. In 1877, he acquired the Beuermann music business from Mr. E. Lindblad, to which he added a music publishing business, which from small beginnings reached considerable dimensions. His many contributions to the promotion of the domestic musical art have been taken into account and in 1914 he was called an honorary member of the Artists' Guild. Cheerful, likeable and straightforward, Lindgren made himself popular in wide circles. He is mostly mourned by children and grandchildren and sisters.
