ment of separate monthly meeting
having been made by the members
here, it was established by the ac
tion of the quarterly meeting held
at Barnesville So on the appointed
time, Friends gathered at the same
site where their meeting house now
stands, and the following opening
minute was made matter of rec
ord:
