Excerpt from The Annual Monitor for 1915: Being an Obituary of Members of the Society of Friends in Great Britain and Ireland, From October 1, 1913, to September 30, 1914
California, who, though not an English Friend, was well-known to many in this country, especially to those of an older generation, who will remember his visit to our Yearly Meeting in the seventies of last century, accompanied by his wife, Hannah Elliott Bean, of whom a memoir appeared in the Annual Monitor three years ago. The memoir of Joel Bean is from the pen of Prof. Augustus T. Murray, of Stanford University, a member of the editorial board of Present Day Papers.
Happily for the Society, it seldom happens that the names of so many leading Friends have to be recorded in our pages as was the case last year. In the year which has just closed fewer Friends in the front ranks of the Quaker Church have been called to a higher service, but there are some whose places it will be difficult to fill, and from whose life history many valuable lessons may be learnt. With the memoirs of Friends who have died during the past year, I have in cluded accounts of five whose names appeared in last year’s list, but of whom no memoirs were then given. Some of these, I think, will add to the. Interest of the book.
