(P 15) Spring Grove Monthly Meeting of Women Friends opened and held by direction of the Quarterly Meeting's committee at Spring Grove in Lykins County, Kansas Territory on fifth day the 6th of 10th month 1859.

Millicent Jones was appointed Clerk for the day.

The following minutes from Pleasant Plain Quarterly Meeting, Iowa, were read:

By the reports from Three Rivers Monthly Meeting it appears that Friends in Lykins County, Kansas Territory request the privilege of holding a meeting for worship on first and fourth days of each week, a monthly meeting on the 2nd seventh day of each month and a preparative on fourth day preceding, all to be known by the name of Spring Grove, which being weightily considered by this meeting resulted in the appointment of John Howard, Eli Stafford, Jesse Arnold, Benjamin Smith, Job Briggs, Jesse W. Kenworthy, Andrew C. Williams, Rodemia Newlin, Betsy Stanton, Elizabeth Hayworth, Cynthia Pickering, Lydia McConnell and Mournen Jones to visit them on that account and take the subject under weighty consideration in all its bearings; and if truth opens the way, they are hereby authorized to assist in opening and arranging a part or all of said meetings as in their judgment would be right.

Taken from the minutes of Pleasant Plain Quarterly Meeting of Friends held at Spring Creek 8th month 7th 1859.
