Description An account of the resource PIONEER WOMAN CALLED TO REST: Mother Of State Historian Die At Seattle Home After Useful Life.; PIONEER WOMAN CALLED TO REST Mother of State Historian Die at Seattle home After Useful Life SEATTLE, Sept. 15.-Mrs. Margaret A. Meany, 76 years old, pioneer of this state and mother of Prof. Edmond S. Meany, head of the department of history at the University of Washington, with whom she made her home at 4025 10th avenue, N. E., died at 4:45 this morning. She had been an invalid for four years, but had seemed on the way to recovery up to a week ago, when she suffered a setback. Mrs. Meany's long life was crowded with the eventful experience so typical of the western pioneer. She was born at Lansing, Mich., on June 5, 1944, of parents of Scottish descent. On May 27, 1861, she married Stephen Meany, a young Irishman from County Cork, who was a captain on one of the vessels operated by her father on the Great Lakes. The family emigrated over one of the first trains on the Union Pacific line in 1869. After more than a year in San Francisco they returned to Chicago, to come back to California city some years later. In 1877 Mrs. Meany with her children came to Seattle to join her husband, who had secured employment on Puget Sound vessels a year before. In 1880 Stephen Meany and his brother-in-law, Andrew Erskine, lost their lives on the Upper Skagit rive, whither they had gone during the stampede to the Ruby Creek gold mines. Mrs. Meany for a time lived near relatives in California, but soon returned to Seattle with her family. She became one of the first members of the women's auxiliary of the Pioneers' Association and of the Elderbloom Club. She did not miss a meeting of either, nor a pioneers' reunion, until illness intervened in 1916, from which she never fully recovered. During the war she never fully recovered. During the war she busied herself knitting socks for the Red Cross. Four of her children have passed away. Of her two sons, Jack Meany, a veteran of the Spanish-American War, is a member of the Seattle police force. The other, Edmond S. Meany, has been professor of history at the University of Washington since 1897. He was born in East Saginaw, Mich. He took a bachelor of science degree at the University of Washington in 1885 and a master of science degree in 1899, following this with a Litt M. from the University of of Wisconsin in 1901. Besides being an educator Professor Meany is well known as an author, poet, historian, journalist and out-of-doors enthusiast. Mrs. Meany is credited with inspiring one of the University of Washington's most cherished traditions Campus Day. While in California in 1904, she sent home a clipping describing Labor Day at the University of California, which occurs every four years, on February 29. From this hint arose Campus Day, which has been celebrated by students and faculty each year since 1904. Subject The topic of the resource Mrs. Margaret A. Meany Prof. Edmond S.
