Excerpt from Pacific Coast Association Native Sons of Vermont, San Francisco
In the latter part of the year 1878, three or four native Vermonters were conversing together in this city on their reminiscenses of the dear old Green Mountain State, when one of them suggested the formation of an association of Vermonters resident on the Pacific Coast. The others grasped enthusiastically at the idea, and the immediate result was a call for all native Vermonters who were interested in such a movement to meet and talk the matter over. That meeting was held on the evening of December 5, 1878. There were present: H. N. Tilden, H. C. Barnes, Dr. C. L. Pierce, Dr. G. C. Hoadley, L. H. Parker, T. H. Underwood, H. K. Cummings, Capt. A. C. Taylor and Geo. W. Hopkins. After an informal exchange of ideas it was agreed to organize an association. To that end a meeting was called at private parlors of the Palace Hotel for December 10, 1878. At that meeting among those present, were: Wm. G. Barrett, B. Burr, Matthew Blair, N. J. Bailey, H. C. Barnes, H. K. Cummings, Dr. Truman Crossett, Geo. W. Chamberlain, S. M. Collins, A. F. Goss, H. A. Haskins, L. A. Hayward, Dr. G. C. Hoadley, Geo. W. Hopkins, T. B. Hurlburt, H. D. Jameson, W. H. Orne, L. H. Parker, Maj. Rodney Smith, S. W. Shaw, L. P. Tenney, H. N. Tilden, Capt. A. C. Taylor, J. B. Whitcomb and Dr. C. L. Pierce.
A committee, consisting of Gen'l G. W. Chamberlain, S. W. Shaw, Dr. C. L. Pierce, Dr. Truman Crossett, H. C. Barnes and G. V. Hopkins, was appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws, and the meeting adjourned to meet at the same place on the 16th of the same month. At the third meeting the Committee on Constitution and By-laws were granted further time. Addresses were made by Drs. Crossett and Pierce, and Messrs. Chamberlain, Crane, Barnes and Capt. Taylor.
