| Notes THE PARIS NEWS, Thu., Sep. 23, 1993, p. 12A: 'Henry Mayer Truby, 74, died of cancer Sunday, Sep. 5, in his hometown of South Miami, FL. Memorial services will be held at the Henry P. Mayer Music Center on the Paris Junior College campus at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sep. 25. Interment will follow at Evergreen Cemetery. Ray Karrer will preside. Dr. Truby was the grandson of the late Henry P. Mayer who came to Paris from Kentucky with his brothers, Melville and Edgar, and a sister, Mollie, in the mid 1880's. Mayer later owned a music company on what is now 1st SW Street and after the Paris fire of 1916 posted 'Smile' signs amid the rubble. He also used his influence to bring much needed cash to town to assist those who lost their homes and businesses then. Born in Independence, KA, on July 24, 1919, to Maitland Mayer and Frederick Truby, Hank Truby attended St. John's Military Academy in Wisconsin, then came to Paris Junior College. After receiving his AA degree, he attended the University of Texas, graduating with a BA in 1941. He later obtained his MA in English. He was awarded a Fulbright Travel Grant in 1950, and later taught eight years in Sweden. He earned his PhD in 1959 from the University of Lund, with his dissertation in speech spectrography. His study of acoustic phonetics, or speech prints, continued for a lifetime. He spent years studying the cries of babies and the sounds of dolphins, obtaining expertise in voice print identification. His work and teaching assignments were at various institutions including the University of Miami, Louisanna State University, Miami-Dade County Community College, Florida International University, the University of Stockholm, and the University of Wisconsin. He authored more than 155 scientific publications and gave over 300 lectures. Most recently he was a consultant on speech analysis, testifying in over 200 criminal cases across the nation in the past 30 years. Dr. Truby served in World War II, and received the Bronze Star medal in 1948 for his part in the New Guinea campaign. He was an animal right activist, continued his lifelong physical habit of playing tennis, and renewed constantly his love for music. Surviving are three daughters and two sons-in-law, Lois Ann Truby and Randall Thompson, Elisabeth Truby, and Susanne Truby and Tony Gonzales; three sons and one daughter-in-law, Nicholas and Lisa Truby, Fred Truby and his fiancee, Adrianna Palumbo, and Christopher Truby; five grandchildren; a cousin, Mildred Baty Plummer, and an endeared family friend, Myrtle Small.
