Bio
Professor Norman R. Farnsworth, renowned pharmacognosist, internationally respected medicinal plant researcher and founder of the NAPRALERT database, died in Chicago on September 10 at the age of 81.
Norman Robert Farnsworth was born on March 23, 1930 to Lee and Zelma Furbush Farnsworth of Lynn, Massachusetts, where he grew up with older sisters Nancy Lee and Bethany and younger brother Bruce. It was in Lynn where he met and married his beloved wife of 58 years, Priscilla Marston Farnsworth, and here, at an early age, where he developed his legendary passion for local varieties of shellfish, especially Ipswich clams and Maine lobster.
He was a veteran of the Korean Conflict, where he served in the U. S. Army’s Third Infantry Division, Seventh Regimental Combat Team. As a member of the "Fire Brigade", as the Third Infantry was known in Korea, he witnessed intense combat- most notably during the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir- for which he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with a “V” device, the United States Military’s fourth-highest award for valor. The four oak leaf clusters he received represent four additional awards of the Bronze Star medal. He also received the Combat Medical Badge.
Returning from Korea, he received both baccalaureate and master’s degrees under the tutelage of Professor Heber Youngken at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, and a doctorate from the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) in 1959. At Pitt, he helped institute the Pharmacognosy Ph.D. program, and served as its first chair. In 1970, he left Pitt to become head of the Department of Pharmacognosy and Pharmacology in the College of Pharmacy at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC).
Over the course of his academic career, Professor Farnsworth received three Doctoris Honoris Causa (honorary Doctorates), and numerous honorary professorships.
