Chester Monthly Meeting of Friends (Hicksite : 1827-1934). Women's Meeting.
Biographical notes:
At the time of the Hicksite Separation, Chester Monthly Meeting (1681-1827) split into Hicksite and Orthodox branches. In 1934, Chester Monthly Meeting (Hicksite) was discontinued, and its two preparative meetings, Chester and Providence, were established as monthly meetings. Providence Monthly Meeting assumed the business and records of the parent meeting. Chester Preparative Meeting (Hicksite) then became the new Chester Monthly Meeting (Hicksite). In 1948, this monthly meeting merged with the Twenty-Fourth Street Monthly Meeting --formerly Chester Preparative Meeting (Orthodox)-- to form Chester United Monthly Meeting of Friends. This meeting was the forerunner of the current Chester Monthly Meeting of Friends.
