Scope and content
Ezra Meeker at Western Washington Fair. Ezra Meeker is pictured on September 14, 1926, riding in a covered wagon on Pioneer Day at the Western Washington Fairgrounds. Earlier that day, a bronze statue was dedicated in his honor at Pioneer Park in Puyallup. The white-bearded Northwest pioneer was 95-years-old at the time. He had platted Puyallup in 1877 and had established hop fields that would bring the hops trade to world prominence. TPL-335A (History of Pierce County, Vol. 1, p. 66) TPL-9811 Boland A8285;
