5. Annual Business Meeting 16 Apr 1920 

 [p. 2] "Dr. Fisher reported for the Committee in charge of the Meams memorial that the 

 tablet to Dr. Meams had been installed in the rock on the cliff north of the cabin a few days 

 before the last fall field meeting [Sunday 9 Nov 1919]. Photographs of the site, with a 

 description of it had been forwarded to Mrs. Meams and her daughter and a letter received from 

 them had expressed their appreciation. Mr, Coville commented on the peculiar fitness of a 

 natural monument to the memory of Dr. Meams. 



It was moved and seconded that this report of this committee be accepted and the committee 

 discharge with the thanks of the club for the very satisfactory way in which they had handled 

 their commission. 



Note: In reviewing the Field Club signed sheets for Plummer's Island (1913-1918) I noted 

 that Dr. Meams visited twice during that period with his wife and daughter: 



1. On Sunday 2 Nov 1913, 4 members (including A. K. Fisher, E. W. Nelson, Paul Bartsch, 

 and H. S. Barber) visited Plummer's Island with a number of guests, including Edgar A. Meams, 

 Lillian H[athaway]. Mearns [his daughter], and Ella W[ittich]. Meams [his wife, married in 

 1881]. 



2. On Friday 20 Nov 1914, F. Hollister visited Plummer's Island with Edgar A. Mearns, Ella 

 W, Meams, and Lillian H. Meams.
