Reverend Henry Whitehead (September 22, 1825 - March 5, 1896) was an assistant curate at St. Luke's church in Soho, London during the 1854 cholera outbreak.
   A believer in the Miasma theory of disease, Rev. Whitehead worked to disprove false theories, eventually focusing on Dr. John Snow's idea that cholera spreads through water contaminated by human waste. Dr. Snow's work, particularly his maps of the Soho area cholera victims, convinced Whitehead that the Broad Street pump was the source of the local infections. Whitehead then joined with Snow in tracking the contamination to a faulty cesspool and the outbreak's index case Whitehead's work with Snow combined demographic study with scientific observation, setting important precedent for the burgeoning science of epidemiology
