The Old Quaker Meeting House Disappears and History Recalled
Edward BumGardner recounts the rise of Quaker settlements in Kansas led by Lawrence Quakers, detailing the 1863 start in Lawrence, the building of a new meeting house in 1872, key figures like Washington Hadley and John G. Haskell, and the lasting impact of Quaker communities including the planned Lawrence church replacement with stone from the old building. The piece also notes notable local figures and the broader Quaker network in Kansas.
