| Ernst Friedrich Artschwager (09 Jul) 1889 - 1957 (21 Jun) |
| Ernst Artschwager was a German-American botanist and plant anatomist with USDA, and father of the painter Richard Artschwager. His doctoral work was accomplished at Cornell University during the first World War, before he had become a U.S. citizen, a strange time for a German to be in the United States. But his work was so valued that he was made a federal employee by 1916, even before earning his doctorate. He mainly worked on potato plants and various sugar plants, and during the second World War, on latex plants in the search for new rubber sources. Plagued his whole life by tuberculosis, he completed his last papers in a hospital setting before succumbing in 1957. |
