The meetings take place in Anthony RI which is a small village within Coventry RI. The smaller copybook is completely full and contains minutes from their annual meetings dating from 1864 to 1881. The second and larger notebook begins where the first notebook left off in 1882 and continues until 1890 when at the annual meeting there was no quorum present and as such "the charter of the company was declared forfeited sic and the company disbanded." In August of 1893 the company was reorganized under the old charter. Four more meetings follow in 1893 with the last meeting recorded stating that the fire company met to compete at the Kent Co.
