Amelia R. Coats

Amelia Ruth Coats (1872-1949) was an American printmaker known for her small, detailed etchings, mostly from the first quarter of the twentieth century.

Coats migrated to Hawaii in the early 20th century, appearing in arriving passenger rolls in August 1903, when she was aboard the SS Aorangi from Vancouver to Honolulu.

[2] She lived for the rest of her life in Hawaii, dying in 1949[3] and having her ashes scattered at sea from a traditional Outrigger.

[4][5] In 1915, she was part of a large party from Honolulu's Trail and Mountain Club that traveled to Maui to hike up Haleakala, led by Alexander Hume Ford.

[8] In a 1934 Hawaii directory, Amelia R. Coats is listed as a clerk for the United States Geological Survey at Spreckelsville on Maui.
