IN MEMORIAM. 



Died. — At Manitou Springs, Colorado, December 8th, 1889, George S. 



Huntington. 



George Spencer Huntington, son of Thos. W. and Frances Will- 

 iamson Huntington, was born in Cincinnati March 20th, 1850. 

 His mother, Frances E. Williamson, was a member of an old 

 Cincinnati family, and his father was a descendant of Samuel Hunt- 

 ington, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. 

 George was educated in the public schools, and graduated from 

 Woodward High School, taking the gold medal for proficiency in 

 mathematics. He studied engineering with his father, who built 

 the C, H. & D. and K. C. R. R. George was afterward one of 

 the engineers of the Cincinnati Southern Railroad. 



The unfortunate accident which caused his death occurred on 

 Pike's Peak, Colorado, December 2d, where he was engaged in 

 building a railroad to the top of this lofty peak. He was a 

 devoted student of Natural History, and his work in preparing and 

 arranging insects, shells and fossils was a model of neatness and 

 accuracy. Only recently he presented his collections to this Soci- 

 ety. He was an expert photographer, and a member of the Photo- 

 graphic Section. 



A true and faithful father, brother and friend, we deeply deplore 

 his untimely death, and cherish his memory. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Charles Dury, ^j
