He was born at Born on 6 December, 1852, of a Dutch mother, Wilhelmina vander Kolk, and a German father, Hermann Weber, who died when his son was two years old. The boy’s guardian, Professor Perthes, sent him to school at Oberstein a|d Nahe when he was nine years old, and there he made his first museum in a cupboard, as all boy-naturalists do. He passed on to the Progymnasium at Neuwied, where a good schoolmaster made him a field-botanist ; next to the Gymnasium at Bonn ; then, his schooldays over, he came home to his people in Holland. In 1873 he entered the University of Bonn, and learned his natural history from Troschel, La Valette St. George, and especially from Franz Leydig, whose assistant he became and to whom he owed his lifelong love of comparative anatomy. In the winter of 1875—76 Weber studied in Berlin under Eduard von Martens, famous as a conchologist, a man of fine taste and liberal education, who had travelled and collected in the East ; it was he who stirred in Weber the ambition to travel and explore. Here Weber wrote his first paper, Ueber die Nahrung der Alausa vulgaris, und uber die Spermatophore von Temora velox, Lillj . ; it was a prize essay, and a trip to Switzerland, Weber’s first taste of travel, was the reward. During all these years in Bonn and in Berlin Weber was a medical student as well as a student of natural history, and he took a medical degree, as the naturalists of those days usually did. He returned to Bonn in 1877 and there took his Doctorate with a dissertation on Die Nebenorgane des Auges von einheimischen Lacertiden . He now did his year of military service, acting half as medial officer and half as hussar!","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114667517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He was the son of Augustin Filon, the French litterateur who was tutor to the Prince Imperial. His parents came to England when he was about three years old and lived at Margate. At this time his father was blind and his mother in delicate health, so that the boy was brought up in a serious atmosphere ; an only child of invalid parents. His father undertook his early education which centred mainly round the Classics. He began Latin and Greek before he was six. His own memories of this time were of regular Latin essays on Roman History and of walks with his father in which Latin was the only permitted language of conversation. His ambition was to be a sailor. He was always drawing pictures of boats at sea, and some good models of ships he made at this time are still in existence. In after life this old ambition showed itself in his keen interest in the theory of navigation and in his one form of relaxation, yachting. At the age of 12 or 13 he went to Herne House, the Reverend Taylor Jones’s school at Margate, and in 1894 he became a student at University College, London. He took his B.A. degree in 1896 with a gold medal for Greek. He had not previously shown any special interest in M athem atics; in fact, by this time his ambition had turned towards painting as a career and he had some skill in that direction. But Mathematics was then part of the curriculum for the B.A., and being brought to it by some measure of compulsion, his special gifts for it soon became apparent. It brought him under the influence of Karl Pearson and Micaiah Hill, two teachers for whom he had an abiding affection and reverence.","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123059129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a loss to the Society, that one who was justly held in such high regard by workers in Pharmacology and the neighbouring fields of medical science, in his own country and widely beyond it, should thus never have been effectively of the distinguished company of our Foreign Members. It is known, however, through his friends, that the news of his election had reached him, and had given him pleasure, during his last, brief illness. Abel was born on 19 May 1857 on a farm near Cleveland, Ohio, into a family which came originally from the Germ an Rhineland. There is nothing recorded of his ancestors to suggest an inheritance of qualities making for eminence in science. It seems probable that his university training was won largely by his own determination and enterprise ; for it is on record that he interrupted his college course; for three years, during which he acted as head of a high school in Indiana and taught a wide range of subjects—Latin and mathematics, as well as physics and chemistry. He ultimately graduated as Ph.B. at the University of Michigan in 1883. In the same year he married Miss Mary Hinman, whom he had met as a fellow school-teacher. Mrs Abel was his devoted helper and comrade for the rest of their active lives, winning the warm regard of the many whom Abel taught and inspired, and dying a few months before him.","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133541303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was in 1880 that he entered into partnership with Mr. S. M. Burroughs to found the firm of Burroughs Wellcome and Company, which developed rapidly and soon became known throughout the world for its manufacture of fine chemicals, alkaloids, and other medicinal products. Wellcome’s connexion with England, the land of his ancestors, was more firmly sealed in 1910, when be became a naturalized British subject. Henry Solomon Wellcome was born in 1853 in a log cabin about 125 miles from Milwaukee and spent his early childhood amongst the Dakota Indians. His father, the Rev. S. C. Wellcome, was an itinerant missionary who with his wife, Mary Curtis Wellcome, travelled throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota in a covered wagon, preaching to the Indians. In 1859 the family trekked westwards to Garden City, Blue Earth County, Minn., where it established its home shortly before the outbreak of the civil war. When young Wellcome was eight years old the great Sioux Indian rebellion occurred and led to the massacre of more than a thousand whites. He assisted in casting rifle bullets for the defence of the settlement and actually helped his uncle, Dr. J. B. Wellcome, in caring for the wounded. Wellcome’s early contact with the Indians found expression in a life-long sympathy for the Red Man, a sympathy which in after years led him to spend considerable sums of money and energy in fighting for what he considered to be the rights of a certain Alaskan tribe. In support of this mission he published in 1887 a history of the tribe under the title of The Story of Metlakhatala .","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122235900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
