Admin/Biographical History
Louise F. A. Tanger (1889-1959) was born in Lancaster, the daughter of Ira W. and Netta Forney Arnold. She was a graduate of Miss Stahr's School (Shippen School), Lancaster and the Baldwin School, Bryn Mawr. After her marriage to Charles Y. Tanger, they resided at 318 North President Ave., Lancaster.
She was a botanist who did field work and located rare plants. Her extensive herbarium was placed at The North Museum. Mrs. Tanger was also an ornithologist. She was a founder and member of the Muhlenberg Botanical Club and the Lancaster County Bird Club. She also held memberships in a number of other organizations including the Lancaster Women's Garden Club, Lancaster County Historical Society, Wilson Ornithological Club, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary Association, American Fern Society, Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, American Ornithological Union, Maryland Ornithological Society, and American Horticultural Society.
Mrs. Tanger became a member of the historical society in 1924 and served on the Executive Board for many years beginning in 1937. When the Willson Memorial Building was constructed in 1956, its neighbor and naturalist, Mrs. Tanger, approached the Board of Trustees with a request to be allowed to plant trees on the barren grounds surrounding the building. The arboretum, planned by Gustaf Malmborg and Charles Y. Tanger, Jr. is a memorial to Louise Arnold Tanger.
