My name is Alyssa and I'm the Assistant Director of the Cazenovia Public Library. Everyone here is very pleased that you enjoyed your visit. Hen, the mummy, is a big part of our small library. Up until the time when the CT scan was done, we thought that he was a she! The scan revealed that Hen was a male, and about 25 years old. Sadly, he died of a malignant bone tumor. The mummy book compares what we thought before the scan with what we found out. You are correct in stating that there were two mummies. It is believed that Mr. Hubbard purchased two, and had one unwrapped before bringing it back to Cazenovia. This mummy was in such poor condition that all that is left is a skull, which is on display in the museum. We hope you’ll come back to our library soon, because the museum is undergoing some exciting improvements. We are adding a “Digital Information Gateway,” full of information on Hen, Mr. Hubbard, and the artifacts in the museum. Thank You Mrs. Mecomber! Hello Mrs. Mecomber!
