Arthur Holmes was born in England on January 14, 1890. Holmes was a graduate student at London Imperial college of science. Holmes had come there to study physics but switched to geology before he graduated in 1910. He formulated the first quantitative geological time scale he estimated the earth to be
Herman Webster Mudgett, also known as Dr. Henry Howard Holmes, or H.H. Holmes, was born on May 16, 1861, in Gilmanton, New Hampshire. He died on May 7, 1896, in Moyamensing Prison, and was buried on May 8 in Yeadon, Pennsylvania. He was born in an affluent home and had a privileged childhood. He was said to be immensely intelligent from a young age, and he expressed an interest in medicine. However, his interest in medicine turned dark when he reportedly started practicing surgery on animals.
To clarify, Henry Howard Holmes known as H. H. Holmes was America’s first serial killer. As a child, Holmes was terrified of the doctor, however a few bullies from his school forced him to touch the real skeleton in their doctor’s office which started his obsession with human anatomy. When Holmes was a teenager he interned at his local doctor’s office and later went to Michigan State for a medical degree and became a skilled doctor. Holmes took out fake insurance policies on the bodies he used in medical school after pouring acid on their face so they were unrecognizable in order to afford college. In 1889 Holmes designed and built a hotel to assist his murders.
1884 to 1886 he lived in Mooers Forks, New York City and Philadelphia. He was accused of the disappearance of a young boy in New York and the death of a boy in Philadelphia (Holmes). H.H Holmes denied having any form of involvement to either cases. In 1886 Holmes moved to Chicago, Illinois. When he moved to Chicago that is when he formally changed his name to Henry Howard Holmes, but better known as H.H Holmes. In Chicago he acquired a pharmacy (H.H Holmes).
H. H. Holmes was born as Herman Mudgett on May 16th 1861, and lived in a rural town in New Hampshire. Holmes had a privileged childhood and expressed interest in the medical field. He grew up during the period of the civil war and newspapers were always filled with images of death on the battlefield. These images had a significant influence on Holmes and he used this as an outlet to practice his desire to become a doctor. Holmes would capture wild animals and begin experimenting on them by dissecting them with a pocket knife (Biography.com). This eventually evolved into Holmes entering medical school at the University of Michigan. This is where he studied and mastered the art of surgical dissection. Holmes graduated in 1884 at the top of his class as a surgical doctor (Dorfman). After college, Holmes moved around a bit until he settled down in the south side of Chicago Illinois where he worked for a
He had two children, one son and one daughter. He went out of sight for six years after abandoning Clara and his son. He would always somehow come up with some con as to where he was and what he was doing during the time of his victims' deaths. The police had always questioned him, but had never really pinned anything on him. No one wanted to believe that Holmes was an evil master mind. He was so handsome and charismatic. His tall stature and piercing blue eyes made women often swoon at the sight of him. He could also talk anyone into anything at the sound of his voice and the medical, knowledgeable jargon he used. He even got an old lady to give him her husbands pharmacy after his death sometime after he arrived to Chicago. Other sources said that he killed her and inherited the pharmacy without anyone knowing what happened. Either way the old woman should have been happy that such a noble man was running her pharmacy. He was always the perfect assistant, making sure that her money was going towards helping the company in any way. He would even meet up with venders, creating a stable environment for her and her dying husband. He eventually killed her but when others would ask he stated that she had moved to California, but had no forwarding address (Taylor, Troy).
In the fall of 1889, Holmes meets Benjamin Frelon Pitezel; He had a wife, Carrie and 5 children, Dessie, Alice, Nellie, Howard and infant son Wharton. He came to Chicago after traveling the Midwest for 10 years because he continually failed at keeping a job and he also had been arrested several times for crimes ranging from petty larceny to forgery, he also drank heavily. He was looking for a job and answers an ad for a carpenter for a building being built in Englewod. There he meets H.H. Holmes and they become friends. He becomes Holmes’s
Holmes was able to exert his power over basically anyone. As we know from background knowledge Holmes was one of the first documented serial killers, with the exception of Jack the Ripper. So I believe it’s a safe bet to say that the majority of the nation at this time was rather naive. Basically all Holmes had to do was ask for something and it was given to him. No one expected there to be a serial killer amongst them, even at the time of the world’s fair.

In 1885 he married Louise Hawkins. Sherlock Holmes made his first appearance in a short novel called "A Study in Scarlet" which was printed in 1887. He continues to write thrilling stories until he realised he wanted to be known not just for Sherlock Holmes but wanted to get involved in other projects. Readers were astonished when Doyle finally killed off the famous detective when he was shoved off a cliff in 1893 by his arch-nemis Professor Moriaty. Thousands of readers made complaints and the once well known
Being a scholar of the Bible, Ussher earned acceptance among Europe’s scientific and religious leaders and got to have the date of the creation of the Earth printed in Bibles. In the late1700’s modern geology came into light and debunked James Ussher’s idea on how old the Earth really was. James Hutton proved how Ussher’s dates are wrong by using the principle of uniformitarianism. Uniformitarianism states that, “The physical, chemical, and biological laws that operate today have also operated in the geologic past.” which means that it takes a long time for the sculpture of mountains to happen and it does not take less than 4000 years to develop. Hutton provides examples and proof of how it actually happens and backs up his claim to the point where he debunks James Ussher’s idea of the world being created in 4004 B.C. Geology today we tend to go more into Hutton’s idea how physical, chemical, and biological laws do change the sculpture of the Earth. Geologists today use Hutton's principle as a pillar of geology to find out how old parts of the Earth are and even find out how long Earth has been
Many Christians believe that the age of the earth is a side issue, of non doctrinal importance, that one can believe in an old or young universe. The Christian apologist William Lang Craig believes that it hurts Christianity when Christians hold to a young earth position (Craig holds to a local flood as many other Christian apologist and Christian). The reason they give is that it is not scientifically possible, others have posited that it hurts the gospel message. Others have said young earth believers unwittingly damage Christianity 's
Wells was apprenticed like his brothers to a draper, spending the years between 1880 and 1883 in Windsor and Southsea as a drapeist. In 1883 Wells became a teacher/pupil at Midhurst Grammar School. He obtained a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in London and studied biology there under T.H. Huxley. However, his interest faltered and in 1887 he left without a degree. He taught in private schools for four years, obtaining his B.S. degree until 1980. The next year he settled in London, married his cousin Isabel and continued his career as a teacher in a correspondence college. Wells left Isabel for one of his brightest students, Amy Catherine, whom he married in 1895 (Brian 1).
