William Frank Hauhn, a retired electrician, died June 7 of undetermined causes at his Cape St. Claire home. He was 91.

Mr. Hauhn was born in Baltimore and raised near Patterson Park and North Avenue. He was a 1936 graduate of Polytechnic Institute.

Mr. Hauhn became an electrician and worked building ships during World War II at Bethlehem Steel Corp.

From 1950 until retiring in 1982, Mr. Hauhn, who was a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 26, worked out of his union's hiring hall.

Mr. Hauhn had lived in Cape St. Claire for 40 years and was an avid gardener.

"He also liked feeding the birds and squirrels," said a son, Phillip Hauhn of Huntington, Montgomery County.

His wife of 52 years, the former Mary Appel, died in 1993.

Services were held Friday.

Also surviving are two other sons, William D. Hauhn of Jarrettsville and Michael J. Hauhn of Fallston; a sister, Agnes Fox of Overlea; five grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.
