The music and lyrics for "Meet me next Sunday at Woodland" were written by Agnes Farrand (Terry) Perry (1873-1937). The song was published by the Empire Music Publishing Company of Seattle. The title refers to Woodland Park , a 90.9-acre public park in Seattle's Phinney Ridge and Green Lake neighborhoods that originated as the estate of Guy C. Phinney, lumber mill owner and real estate developer. Phinney died in 1893, and in 1902, the Olmsted Brothers firm of Boston was hired to design the city's parks, including Woodland Park.
Mrs. Perry was born in Wisconsin and came to Seattle around 1905 with her husband, John R. Perry (1869-1959), daughter, Marguerite Irene Perry (1903-), five siblings, and her mother, Frances (Hart) Terry (1851-1933).
