For the Spy.
Mrs. Frances Hoss, the subject of this brief and imperfect memoir was a native of the State of Maryland, having been born in Baltimore county in 1785. Mrs. H. was the daughter of William Boren. In 1806, she was united in marriage with Abram Hoss, and became the mother of eight children. As a companion, she was devoted and affectionate; and as a mother, kind and affable, but observed a strict moral discipline. In 1819, Mrs. Hoss became a member of the M. E. Church of which she remained a consistent and worthy member until her death. Her religion was not a mere formal profession, but consisted of an active and zealous defence of the doctrines and precepts of the gospel, and a lively and experimental knowledge of its Devine truths. She was indeed a Christian by faith, a Christian in sentiment, and a Christian by practice. It is not derogatory to her character as a Christian to say that she was a Methodist, and was a zealous advocate of the Methodistic usage of class meeting. In class this good woman often spoke to her brethren in Christ, of the power of a saving faith -- the experimental knowledge of God in the pardon of sin, and the comforts of a lively hope of Heaven, based upon faith in the merits of Christ's blood. The exercises could have no other tendency, than to quicken and strengthen her own Christian purposes and those of her class-mates.
For some days, however, before her death, she had some alienation of mind, so that she was incapable of communicating to her friends those lively expressions which her uniform Christian life justified them in expecting to hear. But suspension of mind does not affect the genuineness of a Christian's experience. She died, we doubt not, a Christian, and has gone to receive a Christian's reward.

Psychologist, Zoologist Added to Chaffey Staff

....... Eugene Barton Boring Jr. comes to Chaffey after two years as zoology instructor at Glendale College. He is joining the Chaffey College Life Science Division.

Boring is a graduate of the University of California and has done graduate study at Los Angeles State College. He lives with his wife, Jeryl, and daughter, Dale, in Glendale.


The Los Angeles Times, Saturday, 25 MAR 1989; page 89; (Newspapers.com):

Naturally, Professor Boring can put it all together;

The Museum of Man thinks so, and asked him to do it.

Eugene Boring, an anatomy professor at Chaffey College in Ranch Cucamonga, puts human skeletons together like perfect jigsaw puzzles.

They stand in in lifelike postures, with no visible means of support. No unsightly wires or bolts mar their forms.

Recognizing the skill and craftsmanship of such work, the Museum of Man in San Diego's Balboa Park commissioned Boring to build two skeletons, a male and female, for the centerpiece of its paleontology exhibit.

Working long hours after his classes, Boring finished the skeletons in six months.

Then, after all the work putting them together, Boring said "Transporting the skeletons was no problem. They come apart like Tinker Toys."

After disassembly, they were transported in boxes.

Boring’s skeletons are held together with supports running through the bones rather than on the outside.

"Most skeletons you see in classrooms look as if they just came from the gallows," Boring said, and are often posed in strange positions with wires and springs protruding from the bones.

Those typical classroom skeletons work well for everyday use and study, of course, but Boring's skeletons are posed in natural positions, allowing students to glimpse the human frame as it exists within the confines of muscle, tendons, ligaments and skin.

Boring learned the unusual form of skeleton assembly from osteologist Thomas Zurich. Boring said, "As far as I know, he's the only (other) person in the world to have constructed skeletons this way."

Boring donated his own time and materials to the Museum of Man. The two skeletons are insured for $15,000 each.

Boring is known throughout Southern California for his extensive collection of skulls, many of which he keeps in the Chaffey College laboratories.

The College of Osteopathy in Pomona often initiates field excursions for its medical students to view the collection.

Boring said each skull is unique, having unusual characteristics from having sustained traumas and diseases during the lifetime of what Boring calls "the original owner."

Several of his skulls show evidence of primitive brain surgery by Inca doctors.

The Incan doctors cut or dugout sections of skull, removed the offending blood clots inside, then, replaced the sections.

The patients lived, Boring said, as evidenced by the healed skulls.


NOTE -- The San Diego Museum of Man has subsequently been renamed The Museum of Us.
