EMINENT SCEINTIST.

Prof. Ward Killed by Auto, Was Going Home to Join Wife.

     Chicago, July 5. Prof. Henry A. Ward, the aged naturalist and collector
of meteorites, who was reported to be killed by an automobile at Buffalo,
N.Y., last night, left Chicago Monday night for Rochester, N.Y. The news of
his death was kept from Prof. Ward's wife, Mrs. Lydia Coonley Ward, until
today. She was visiting her son, John Stuart Coonley, at 5220 East End
Avenue.
     Prof. Ward expected to go to Wyoming, N.Y., in a few days. Mrs. Ward
was preparing to join her husband trip down the St. Lawrence river. Their
plan was to visit Montreal and Quebec, after which they expected to camp in
the Canadian woods for the rest of the summer.
     His collection of meteorites is exceeded only by those of the German
and Australian governments, with which he regularly exchanged specimens. In
the United States the only collection which in any way approximates that of
Prof. Ward is the one owned by the Field Columbian Museum.
     This work took his all over the globe he having traveled in Europe, the
Orient, Africa and South American in search of specimens. Only a few weeks
ago he returned home from Columbia, South America, bringing with him
fragments of a meteorite that fell in that country.

PDF copy of this article, and most I post (and about 1/2 of those on my
website), is available upon e-mail request.

The NPA in the subject line, stands for Newspaper Article. The old list
server allowed us a search feature the current does not, so I guess this is
more for quick reference and shortening the subject line now.
