Hawes, Jesse (1843-1901).

Jesse Hawes was born in Corrinna, Maine, August 21, 1843 and practised chiefly in Greeley, Weld County, Col- orado, his death occurring there from angina pectoris, August 4, 1901.

He had prepared to enter Bowdoin College when the Civil War broke out and he enlisted at once in the ninth Illinois cavalry, the family having shortly before moved to that state. He served through the war, being confined in Cahaba Prison for nearly a year, which experience he embodied in "Ca- haba," a volume published about 1890.

From 1865 to 1868 he studied in the University of Michigan and graduated M. D. from Long Island College Hospit- al in 1871. For some time afterwards he studied in Edinburgh, Scotland, but the exact date is not known.

In 1874 he married Clementine Rock- well and one child, a daughter, Mary Moneta, was born.

He was president of the Colorado State Medical Society in 1884 and professor of obstetrics in the Univer- sity of Denver for some years.

He wrote many brief articles upon surgical subjects, published in the "Transactions of the American Medical Association and of the Colorado Slate

Society. His "Report upon Charla- tanism in Colorado" appeared in their Transactions for 1883.

At the beginning of his practice in Greeley Dr. Hawes lost several cases in succession from puerperal fever. This misfortune worked so against the increase of his practice that for years he struggled with poverty. No doubt the increased effort he made to win back the confidence of those fami- lies which had left him on this account, was responsible for the fact that he finally became the leading obstetri- cian of the northern part of the state, and a teacher of obstetrics in the University of Denver.

Hayden, Ferdinand Vanderveer (1829- 1887).

This American geologist whose sci- entific knowledge and facile pen did so much to clothe the dry bones of governmental reports was born in West- field, Massachusetts, September 7, 1829 and died in Philadelphia, December 22, 1887. He graduated at Oberlin College in 1S50 and at the Albany Medical College in 1853, then became professor of geology and mineralogy in the University of Pennsylvania from 1865-1872.

The American Geological Expedition which set out in 1855 under Lieut. G. K. Warren to study the upper Missouri was fortunate in having him with them to write up and draw speci- mens collected. He edited the first eight reports of the "United States Geographical and Geological Surveys of the Territories" and wrote a "Sketch of the Origin and Progress (1877) of that Survey;" also "The Yellowstone National Park and the Mountain Re- gions of Idaho, Nevada, Colorado and Utah" (1S77); and "Sim Pictures of the Rocky Mountains" (1870).
