| Description |
English: This unidentified elderly lady and her parrot appeared in an article in the Tacoma Daily Ledger in February of 1922. The pair resided at the Ladies of the Grand Army (of the Republic) Home in Puyallup, 321 Pioneer Avenue East, the former mansion of Ezra Meeker. Twenty older women, several of them in their nineties, lived in the G.A.R. Widows Home. The home had opened in 1915 and was a refuge for the wives, daughters, nieces or sisters of any Grand Army veteran where the women could live out their twilight years in dignity. It was one of 27 social welfare institutions eligible for Community Chest assistance. A drive to raise funds for the Community Chest was staged March 18-28. In 1948 the association sold the home to the first of a series of doctors who used the building for a nursing home. In 1970, the old mansion was donated to the Meeker Historical Society.
