Shoemaker; Clarence Raymond Shoemaker; access point: Shoemaker, Clarence Raymond, 1874-; Shoemaker, Clarence Raymond, 1874-1958; Shoemaker, Clarence Raymond; Shoemaker, Clarence R.; Shoemaker, Clarence) Patuxent Wildlife Research Center website, Oct. 9, 2017 (Clarence Raymond Shoemaker; born in 1874. At the age of seven he moved to the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C., and he spent most of his life in this family home. His interest in zoology began very early in life, and he found when he entered George Washington University that his own studies had already carried him ahead of the curriculum then being taught. After a year in college he, therefore, took a position at the Smithsonian Institution, first as a clerk in the International Exchanges section in 1902 and then in 1910, as a scientific aide in the Division of Marine, Aquatic, and Terrestrial Iinvertebrates. In 1916, he was involved in collecting coral and marine invertebrates in the Danish West Indies. He became assistant curator in 1921, and an associate curator of the division of marine invertebrates in 1942. His early interest had been in spiders and he gained a reputation in this field even before coming to the invertebrate division. Clarence retired in 1944 at the age of 70, but continued as a research associate until his death on December 28, 1958. His scientific reports on the Amphipoda were worldwide in scope and he published about 70 papers in this field) <https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/resshow/perry/bios/ShoemakerClarence.htm> Billionsofgraves.com, Oct. 9, 2017 (Clarence R.
