HENRY CLYDE SHETRONE

Henry Clyde Shetrone was born in Millersport,

Fairfield County, Ohio, August 10, 1876. He was edu

cated in the public schools and attended Denison Uni-

versity. At an early age he became interested in archae-

ology and museums and soon began gathering the litera-

ture relating to these.

In 1913, the opportunity came to him to engage ac-

tively in a work which had for years remained in the

realm of his fondest desires. He was invited by Dr.

William C. Mills, the late Director of the Society's

Museum, to come into that institution as Assistant

Curator of Archaeology. In this position he at once en-

gaged actively in mound explorations, and through the

years following became practically and thoroughly ac-

quainted with the prehistoric mounds and earthworks of

the Ohio Valley. Under the direction of Dr. Mills he

explored the Hopewell Group, the Seip Group, and

others of less importance. His publications include the

official reports of explorations, as set forth in volume IV
