General Notes and Anecdotes
in 1936, Marguerite (the "fleetest feminine sprinter in the West") won the women's 100-meter race in Olympic tryouts at the Coliseum in Los Angeles. Observing the trials were screen actor Melvyn Douglas and his wife, Helen Gahagan, a Broadway and screen actress, and opera star (and from the late 1930s, a politician). When it was revealed there were no funds to send the competing athletes to the final trials in Providence, Rhode Island, the couple decided to fund Marguerite's trip. [periodical-caswell-leaves-for-eastern-trials-1936]
Marguerite married Earle Meadows some six months before telling anyone, even Marguerite's father, Clyde Caswell. According to the 14 Dec 1937 edition of the Los Angeles Times, "... when the [USC] Trojans and Stanford tangled for high-point honors in the conference meet at the Coliseum last May 29, Meadows and Miss Caswell agreed that if he suceeded in breaking the world's pole-vault record of 14ft. 8-1/2in. they'd celebrate by getting married./He did---and they did."

Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)
CONFLICTS
Given Name: Her given name is Marguerite. A periodical source uses the nickname Margaret. [periodical-compton-track-suit-looming-1948]
Birth Date: This database uses 13 Aug 1916. The 1950 U.S. Census gives an age of (32), which, when applied to the official census date of 1 Apr 1950, gives a birth date range from 2 Apr 1917 to 1 Apr 1918. [census-us-1950-p1-ca-losangeles-294b-1]
Birth Location: This database uses Berwyn, Illinois. Her marriage affadavit identifies her as a native of Chicago, Illinois. Note that Berwyn is within the metropolitan area of Chicago. [marriage-meadows-caswell-affidavit-1937]
SPELLING
Given Name: This database uses Marguerite. The 1950 U.S. Census uses Marguerte. [census-us-1950-p1-ca-losangeles-294b-1]
Given Name: This database uses Marguerite. The 1950 marriage record for Kenneth Burroughs and Marguerite uses Margurte. This is probably a shortened form to fit in the alloted computer memory; in the print-out, it fills the entire column width alloted for first names. [marriage-burroughs-meadows-1950]
Middle Name: This database uses Eleanor. The 1940 draft registration card for husband Elmer Earle Meadows seems to spell it Eleonor. [military-draftreg-elmer-meadows-1940]
FOLLOWUP
The affadavit for a marriage license for Elmer and Marguerite (for their second wedding) was signed in November 1937. This is months after their June 1937 marriage (elopment), and even farther removed from their July 1938 marriage. Was this a normal situation?
Two of Elmer Earle Meadow's children in this database are mentioned in Elmer's obituary as his children, but not in his wife Marguerite's obituary. Could they be the children of another mother whom Elmer married after his divorce from Marguerite?
