Harold W Mohrman was Board Member Cahokia Archaeological Society 1974-1975.


When Dr. Henry Milton Whelpley passed in 1926, his collection sat in storage until 1959 when it was moved to the Academy of Science of St. Louis in Oak Knoll Park in Clayton, Missouri. The services of Leonard Blake and Harold W. Mohrman were enlisted to help catalog the collection. This endeavor took more than a year and a half.

Ben Thompson was given this pendant in friendship from Harold Mohrman. I obtained this pendant from Ben in 2006 at his home in Kirkwood St. Louis.
The round tag with 3639 written on it is Ben's catalog sticker. The tag with C-756 Clark Co IND is Harold's.
