The annual meeting of the Plimpton Manufacturing Company was held this afternoon, and directors and officers were elected.

Directors elected were

  • Leonard H. Bacon
  • Maro S. Chapman
  • Ralph Cheney
  • Frederic W. Plimpton
  • Linus B. Plimpton
  • Horace J. Wickham
  • William S. Williams

Officers elected were

  • President – Linus B. Plimpton
  • Vice President – Maro S. Chapman
  • Secretary – Frederic W. Plimpton
  • Treasurer – Frederic W. Plimpton
  • Auditor – James S. Tryon

The article said that there was “no change in the board of directors or officers,” and then said that “William and H. J. Wickham” had been elected as directors.  Presumably the reporter meant William S. Williams, but the articles reads as if someone named William Wickham had been elected instead.  This confusion is compounded by my inability, thus far, to find an account of the 1880 annual meeting.

The Plimpton Manufacturing Company held its annual meeting on January 28, 1879.
