 rather than a museum man in the modern sense of the word and it was 

 fortunate for his reputation that such was the case. The partial de- 

 struction of a museum could not diminish his fame. Up to the time of 

 his death more than two hundred thousand dollars had been spent fof 

 all purposes of the survey since its beginning. A very small portion of 

 that had been applied for strictly museum purposes and yet the results 

 in that direction were gratifying. 



Prof. Worthen died May 6, 1888. 



An account of his life and work is given by Bliss and White in the 

 last report of .the first survey f and it may be sufficient here to, mention 

 a few facts only. He was born Oct. 18, 1813 at Bradford, Vermont^ 

 and received his education in the public schools and ?icademy at that 

 place. At twenty years of age he married and moved to Cumminsville, 

 Ohio, now a suburb of Cincinnati, where for two years he taught 

 school. Then in 1836 he became a merchant in Warsaw, Illinois. But 

 his avocation was the study of geology and as the years passed his in- 

 terest grew with the increasing size of his collections till finally science 

 became his vocation as we have seen. 



Beginning by assembling the gcods for which Warsaw is famous 

 and using them as a basis of exchange, and by industrious collecting he 

 brought together one of the best cabinets of its kind owned by any
