Chester Monthly Meeting of Friends (1955- )

In 1934, Chester Preparative Meeting (Hicksite) became the new Chester Monthly Meeting at the dissolution of the original 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 under the two Concord Quarterly Meetings. This monthly meeting was the forerunner of the current Chester Monthly Meeting of Friends.

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 under the two Concord Quarterly Meetings. This monthly meeting was the forerunner of the current Chester Monthly Meeting of Friends.
