    This is my Great Grandfather. He led a very interesting life to say the least :)
  • State Library of Queensland said:
    Jarrod Hey, we'd love to know more about your great grandfather. We're always looking for information to add depth to our pictures, and I am sure there are many stories to tell about him!

    There's a brief bio and a much later photo of her at this page (scroll down, a little past half way): www.med.yale.edu/library/historical/about/founders/donors... "Gertrude Van Wagenen, a Yale research scientist, bequeathed, through her brother, Anthony van Wagenen, her marvelous collection of illustrated anatomical works as well as goiter dolls and ivory anatomical manikins. Married to Crawford F. Failey, M.D., who inherited great wealth, she began collecting on travels abroad in the 1920s. Van Wagenen obtained her Ph.D. at the University of Iowa in 1919. Beginning in 1931, commuting from her home in New York City, she established a research laboratory and colony of macaque monkeys, at Yale, and carried out pioneering research on the reproductive biology of primates. Her modest official title as Research Associate in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Lecturer in Anatomy, belied her many scientific achievements. Van Wagenen’s collection included several triple folio works such as the eighteenth-century color mezzotints of anatomies by Jacques Gautier d’Agoty." She doesn't have a Wikipedia entry. Yet.
