James Howard Mummery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Howard Mummery (Jan 18, 1847 - Aug 30, 1926) was married to Mary Lily Lockhart, the daughter of William Lockhart (M.D.) (1811-1897), famed medical missionary and fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (UK). Mummery wrote at least two texts, Microanatomy of the Teeth (Henry Frowde, Oxford University Press: 1919) and Microscopic and General Anatomy of the Teeth: Human and Comparative. He lived at 79 Albert Bridge Road, S.W. at the time that the first text was published.

His wife, Mary, died from acute pneumonia on May 24, 1897 at the age of 48 at Whitby. The British Dental Association presents a Howard-Mummery Prize for dental research, which was first awarded to J H Scott in 1963.
