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.

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.
