Brayton Howard Ransom

March 24, 1879–September 17, 1925

Secretary-Treasurer of the American Society of Tropical Medicine, 1921–1925

Dr. Brayton H. Ransom, chief of the Zoological Division, Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, died in Washington, D. C., at 11.00 p.m. on September 17, 1925, after an illness of about three weeks. He was only forty-six years old, a comparatively young man, but in the short space of that brief lifetime he had crowded more of valuable achievement than most men may hope for in the biblical allotment of three score years and ten. In the scope comprehended in his investigations he was quite unusual and in his grasp of the broad field of veterinary parasitology the writer would rank him next to the illustrious Railliet of Alfort, a much older man, retired from teaching a few years ago at the age of seventy.
