Mr. and Mrs. Charles Harold Lindquist of Mockingbird Ln., South Pasadena, are announcing engagement of their daughter, Anne Linne, and Eric Bond Ward, son of Dr. and Mrs. Morgan Ward of San Pasquel St. The wedding will take place in May, the Lindquests told guests at an informal family dinner at the Jonathan Club.
Ann's lineage goes back to the 18th Century Swedish botanist, Carolus Linnaeus, after whom she was named. Both she and her fiance are natives of Pasadena. Her grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lindquest and the Martin Hennellys, all of Chicago.
She is an alumna of Westridge, South Pasadena High School and UC.
Eric's ancestry dates back to Samuel Ward, first governor of Rhode Island. The family subsequently moved to New York and has included Julia Ward Howe, Marion Crawford and Laura E. Richards. His maternal grandparents are the late Dr. and Mrs. Edward von Toll and his paternal, the late Henry Marion Ward and the late Mrs. Lucy Bond Miller, all of Pasadena. Eric's father is professor of mathematics at Caltech.
The future bridegroom prepared at St. Andrews, Middleton, Del. He has attended Caltech and served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps. He holds a degree in electrical engineering from UCLA.

Dr. Morgan Ward, 61, matician on the faculty of the California Institute of Technology, died yesterday of a heart attack at the City of Hope Medical Center at Duarte.
As a research mathematician, Dr. Ward was noted for his work in algebra and number theory, with particular emphasis on arithmetical sequences. During the past few years he worked with the school mathematics study group set up by the National Science Foundation to reform elementary school mathematics curricula. He was co-author with Dr. Clarence Hardgrove of a modern elementary mathematics textbook which will be published this fall.
Native of N.Y.
Born in New York City, Dr. Ward spent most of his life in Southern California. He received his B.A. at the University of California, at Berkeley in 1924 and his Ph.D. in mathematics at Caltech in 1928 summa cum laude. He joined the Caltech faculty as assistant professor of mathematics in 1929, became associate professor in 1940.
In 1934-35 he did research work at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J. and from 1941 to 1944 he served as consultant to the Office of Scientific Research and Development on problems of underwater ballistics and anti-submarine warfare. He was a member of the American Mathematical Society and American Mathematical Association.
Musician, Poet
Dr. Ward was an accomplished pianist, a student of poetry and an expert chess player.
The mathematician, who lived at 1550 San Pasqual St., is survived by his wife, Sigrid; a daughter, Audrey Ward Gray of China Lake, Calif.; three sons, Eric, Richard and Samuel of Pasadena; three brothers, Robert Miller, Malcolm Miller and Samuel Ward, and four grandchildren.
Private services will be in charge of Turner & Stevens Co. of Pasadena. Interment will be private. Contributions may be made in Dr. Ward's memory to the Caltech memorial fund or to the City of Hope.
