WOODWARD, Joseph Janvier, surgeon, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 30 October, 1833; died near that city, 17 August, 1884. He was graduated at the Philadelphia central high-school in 1850, and at the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1853. He practised his profession in Philadelphia, and also gave private instruction in the use of the microscope and in pathological histology, and with Dr. Charles Bishop he conducted a '" quiz" class in connection with the course of instruction in the University of Pennsylvania. Subsequently he became demonstrator in operative surgery in that place and clinical surgical assistant, and then took charge of the surgical clinic of the university. At the beginning of the civil war he entered the United States army as assistant surgeon, serving with the 2d United States artillery in the Army of the Potomac, and then became chief medical officer of the 5th division in the Department of Northeast Virginia, being present at the first battle of Bull Run. Later he became medical officer of three light batteries in General Philip Kearny's division in the Army of the Potomac. In May, 1862, he was assigned to duty in the surgeon-general's office in Washington, and charged with the duty of collecting materials for a medical and surgical history of the war and for a military medical museum. At the close of the war he received the brevets of captain, major, and lieutenant-colonel, and on 28 July, 1866, he was commissioned captain and assistant surgeon. Soon after his assignment to Washington his attention was directed to experiments in photo-micrography, and he improved the old methods and devised new ones for this class of work. His publications in this direction gave a powerful stimulus to the construction of microscopic objectives, and the great improvements that have been made in these instruments of research are due chiefly to his labors. He was made surgeon with the rank of major on 26 June, 1876. Dr. Woodward was associated in the management of President Garfield's case after he was shot, and the confinement, anxiety, and labor to which he was subjected during the president's long illness proved too great for him and hastened the "sickness that terminated his life. In addition to his connection with scientific societies, including his election in 18'73 to the National academy of sciences, he was president of the American medical association and of the Philosophical society of Washington. He published about 100 single papers, and in book-form "Outlines of the Chief Camp Diseases of the United States Armies" (Philadelphia, 1863) and "The Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion" (2 vols., Washington, 1870-'9).--His sister, Annie Aubertine Woodward-Moore, translator, born in Montgomery county, Pc., 27 September, 1841, was educated in Philadelphia, studied music with Carl Gartner, and gave successful piano recitals and concerts in Boston, Philadelphia, and New York. She also early devoted herself to literary pursuits, and translated extensively from the French and German. She was occupied in translating from the Scandinavian tongues with Rasmus B. Anderson in 1876, and for twelve years was busy preparing English versions of Bjornstjerne Bjornson's novels (Boston, 1881-'2), and of Georg Brande's "Authors of the Nineteenth Century" (New York, 1886). She has resided in Madison, Wisconsin, since 1877, was a founder of the Wisconsin conservatory of music, and has lectured extensively, especially on Norwegian literature and music. She married Samuel H. Moore in 1887. Mrs. Moore has published most of her writings under the pen-name of "Auber Forestier." They include, besides the translations that have been noticed, English versions from the German of Robert Byr's" Sphynx" (Philadelphia, 1871) ; "The Struggle for Existence" (1873); Sophia Verena's "Above the Tempest and the Tide" (1873); "Samuel-Bound & Co.," from the French of Victor Cherbuliez (New York, 1877); "Echoes from the Mist Land, or the Nibelungen-Lied Revealed" (Chicago, 1880) ; "The Spell-Bound Fiddler," from the Norse of Kristofer Janson (1881); "The Norway Music-Album," Norway folk-songs, dances, etc., edited and furnished with English text (Boston, 1881): and " Voice-Culture," from the German (1885).
