QWHP -- The Minneapolis Corner

---

JOEL BEAN:

• The General Meeting at Minneapolis, 1st Month 1873. A "General Meeting," I guess, was the pre-pastoral Meeting's version of a Revival. Minneapolis at that time was affiliated with Iowa Yearly Meeting.

ABBY G. MENDENHALL:

• Bethany Home. Abby Mendenhall was one of the earliest settlers in this newly opened remote frontier outpost west of the Mississippi, and one of the founding members of the Minneapolis Friends Meeting. Bethany Home was a multi-denominational Christian home for unwed mothers.

ELLISON PURDY:

• The Bread Winner. Purdy was the Pastor of the Meeting at this time (1929) and was among the preachers in Minneapolis to be included in the nationally distributed The Minneapolis Pulpit.
