Herman P. Dean (1897-1978) packed several lifetimes of experiences into his busy eight decades. A businessman, he owned Huntington's former Standard Printing and Publishing Co. A newspaperman, he published the weekly Wayne County News. A church and civic leader, he taught Sunday School at Huntington's Central Christian Church for 30 years and aided a long list of charitable endeavors. A world traveler, he visited not just familiar tourist spots but such remote regions as the Canadian Yukon, where he even lived with the Eskimos for two years. He loved hunting, fishing and collecting antique guns. He spent a lifetime amassing his collection of firearms and then presented it to the Huntington Museum of Art.
