Frank Schaefer
Longtime proprietor of the White Horse Inn
Frank Schaefer, a long-time resident of Provincetown, died on Sept. 14 in the company of friends and in the arms of his wife, Mary.
For years his White Horse Inn, on Commercial Street, has welcomed artists, wanderers, the famous and not so famous, many of whom have returned season after season.
Frank was born in Königsberg (now Kaliningrad-Oblast) in 1937, and thus he lived his early years under Stalin and Hitler. He first arrived in America on a Fulbright scholarship as a journalism student.
His interests and accomplishments were many. He started the Wellfleet Al-Anon meetings and took part in the creation of the Fine Arts Work Center.
“I was always surrounded by artists,” he would say. As a lifetime member of the Provincetown Art Association, he did everything there from laying floors to repairing roof leaks at the same time that he himself was a painter and serious photographer.
The White Horse Inn was named after the famous White Horse Tavern in New York City, where he drank with and got to know some of the great visual artists of the day. As he restored the inn and furnished it, it became filled with art and other objects of interest — it has been dubbed, lovingly, “the world’s largest Cornell Box.”
He was Buddhist by action; he worked for world peace and the rights of others. The White Horse Inn was the first in town to rent to persons of color. He was also a concerned and constant friend to animals, especially to Boston, Maggie, Blackjack and Ida Tiger Lily.
He is survived by his sister, Ulrike Schaefer Frank of Berlin; his brother, Knut of Munich; a sister by his father’s second wife, Heike; his wife, Mary J. Martin; and his golden cat, Buckaroo.
A memorial service will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, his relatives ask that you do something remarkably kind in memory of dear, brave Frank.

The Auk 95:437-439 (Apr 1978)
ELIZABETH SCHLING AUSTIN (23 January 1907-23 May 1977) began her ornithological career both early and late. "Sliver" (an alliterative nickname from her childhood) would give you an argument if you tried to call her an ornithologist; she insisted that she was an ornithologist's wife. So in one way, she began her career at the age of 7, when she first met young Oliver L. Austin, Jr. at dancing school. She and Oliver were married some years later--in 1930---while he was a graduate student at Harvard University. For many years after that she devoted her life to her family: making ends meet during the Depression; moving from place to place with Oliver as he began his professional career; bearing two sons, Anthony and Timothy; becoming a wartime Navy wife. After the Japanese surrender, she and the boys joined Oliver in Tokyo where he was serving on General MacArthur's personal staff as a wildlife consultant.
It was not until her children were raised, and particularly after she and Oliver settled in Florida in 1957, that Elizabeth became seriously interested in birds. She had shown early promise as a writer while a student at Saint Elizabeth Academy, Convent Station, New Jersey. Although she had no formal education in ornithology, informal training in the subject came from the many years with her husband. Her writings on birds were always thoroughly discussed with, and read by, Oliver before they were sent for publication, but Sliver did her own work. She was a tireless reader and a skilled library researcher-- persistent until she was satisfied that she had ferreted out the last bit of information on a particular subject.
In 1960 she was appointed a Research Associate of the Florida State Museum, a post she held until 1973 when she and Oliver both retired. From 1960 to 1965 she wrote a weekly newspaper column, "Wild Adventure," for the Florida Times Union in Jacksonville. Her main contribution to scholarly ornithology, "Frank M. Chapman in Florida: His Letters and Journals," appeared in 1967. This was followed by several children's books, for which she had a special talent: "Penguins, the Birds with Flippers" (1968), "Birds that Stopped Flying" (1969), and "The Random House Book of Birds" (1970). The latter included Oliver as co-author, but Elizabeth did virtually all the writing. She also contributed the bird articles for
"The Golden Book Encyclopedia of Natural Science" (1962).
Born in New York City, Elizabeth was a member of a socially prominent family and raised in an intellectually stimulating environment. Her father was the renowned horticulturist and florist Max Schling, a good friend of botanist Liberty Hyde Bailey. She also spent much time in Europe as a child and was fluent in German. Elizabeth was strongly instilled with an appreciation for excellence and a sense of what was right. She insisted on these in herself, and expected them in others--hence the penetrating and often rapier-like quality of her many reviews in Bird-Banding and The Auk, for which she was well known among ornithologists. Less known were her anonymous and pungent contributions to The Auklet.
Of the several awards and honors received in her lifetime, Sliver perhaps was proudest of her election to the class of Elective Member of the AOU in 1972. This was followed in 1973 by the joint award, Oliver, of the Arthur A. Allen Medal, which enormously pleased both members of the husband-and-wife team. Her "Birds that Stopped Flying" also won an award from the National League of American Pen Women, an organization in which Elizabeth was active for many years.
A regular attendant of AOU meetings, Sliver made many friends within ornithology. It was characteristic of her personality that she soon rebelled at being left alone on the first night of each AOU meeting, when the Fellows had their stag dinner. She found other Fellows' wives who had been similarly abandoned, and invited them to a dinner--just for the ladies--for whom Hoyes Lloyd resurrected the old name "Appleton Club," famous in the days of McAtee, Peters, and Batchelder. It became a tradition that lasted for years. Sliver also acted as a hostess when the AOU met in Gainesville in 1963, with such thoughtful touches as planning all the University cafeteria menus to include regional specialties, rather than letting the food service use their routine fare.
Above all, Elizabeth Austin was an interesting person--energetic, exacting, intellectually stimulating, enthusiastic. At the same time she was warm and humorous, a superb hostess, and a firm and loving friend. She greatly enjoyed sharing her life with her husbandsfirst as a wife, and later as a colleague, but she never ceased to be a distinct person in her own right. Those of us who were enriched by knowing Sliver extend our sympathy to Oliver, and to Tony and Tim, in their loss.--Mary H. Clench
