He was my great-grandfather and he died of non-venomous natural causes. His collection of insects was the largest in the western hemisphere at the time he was collecting. So large that his own institution could not maintain it and it is at the University of Georgia instead of Emory University. P.W. is also in many law textbooks, cited as an early example of an effective expert witness.

But he’s dead now, isn’t he? Can we be sure it wasn’t a delayed reaction and not old age?
