IN MEMORIAM 
Within the year two of the founders of the Illinois Audubon Society 
have crossed the Great Divide—Mrs. Emma S. Adams and Miss Mary 
Drummond. Miss Drummond was for many years the devoted secretary 
of the Society and gave much of her time and money serving the cause 
which she so deeply loved. 
After it was no longer possible for her to attend meetings, she kept in 
close touch with the activities of the directors, aiding by council and 
generously giving when money was needed. In her will she provided 
for a bequest of $3,000.00, which will be added to the endowment fund, 
increasing it to $14,500.00. 

Mrs. Adams had not been active in the Society for many years, though 
like Miss Drummond she had been made an honorary director. Also 
with Miss Drummond she had for many years been a faithful and active 
bird lover, not only serving as a director, but exerting an influence for 
bird study and conservation. 
The passing of these faithful women leaves only a very few of the 
original founders of the Society still living. 
Within the month another former director has suddenly departed 
this life, Frank Morley Woodruff, for many years curator of the Academy 
of Sciences. Outside of Mr. Woodruff’s ornithological work, he was 
widely known for the habitat groups representing the natural topog- 
raphy of the Chicago Region, which were produced in wonderful per- 
fection through enlargements made of the photographs taken by him. 
These groups are a principal attraction in the Academy of Sciences 
exhibits in Lincoln Park, and are visited annually by many thousands 
from all sections of the city and visitors from other citiesand the country. 
Mr. Woodruff was widely known as an authority on shore birds, and 
as an expert taxidermist. His great collection of colored slides was 
purchased by the Society of Visual Education, and covered not only 
ornithology, but plant life and the varied scenic attractions of northern 
Illinois. 
Mr. Woodruff was active in the Adventurers’ Club, and had a wide 
acquaintance among naturalists. 

A short sketch of Mrs. Drummond’s life will appear in the next 
Bulletin.
