MEMORIALS
Quarterly and monthly meetings are directed to furnish this
meeting annually with an account of the decease of such of their
members in the station of ministers or elders, as may have taken
place within the year. And if any monthly meeting should under
solid consideration, believe it necessary to prepare a memorial
concerning any deceased Friend who had been a member thereof, it
is to go to the respective quarterly meeting, where, being duly
weighed and agreed to, it is then to be forwarded to the meeting
for sufferings, for inspection and approbation, previous to its
being laid before this meeting. -- 1755, 1786.
