The beautiful, well-preserved stone building in its setting of grand old trees, with the peaceful burying ground in the rear, sheltered by the surrounding hills, made an ideal gathering place. Lucy B. Roberts, President of the Society, in her opening remarks referred to the fact that the Society now has an office in the Friends' Library, 142 North Sixteenth Street, Philadelphia. A sign on the door locates it as the headquarters of the Society. In the absence of the Secretary, Caroline W. Smedley was invited to serve in that capacity for the day. Henry D. Paxson addressed the Society on \"Buckingham in Revolutionary Times.\" (See p. 57, above.) The second paper on the program was read by B. F. Fackenthal, Jr., on \" Durham Iron Furnaces.\" The well-known Durham Iron Works are as old as the Buckingham Meeting. Durham is in the extreme northeastern section of Bucks County on the Delaware River. Its white settlers arrived perhaps as early as 1682. The greater part of the land was granted by William Penn to his Secretary, James Logan, who deeded it to the Durham Iron Works. The date stone of the original blast furnace is marked 1727. The discovery of iron ore in the hills led to its establishment. As James Logan owned one quarter of the business at that time, it is quite probable that the fire backs at his mansion, \" Stenton,\" were made at Durham. Pig iron, cast iron, stove plates, and shock shells were also made there. The last blast of the old furnace was in 1789, after which it was used as a grist mill. In 1830 the furnaces were opened again, and modernized in 1876. The plant was dismantled in 1912. One modern furnace in one month produces more iron than did the Durham furnace of 1727 in sixty-two years.

On the history of Buckingham , and of the old Meeting House, he spoke as follows:) The name Buckingham comes, of course, from old England and was always dear to the founder. It was first given to what is now Bristol Township and Bristol Borough and was then known as \" New Buckingham.\" Upon the formation of the borough, called Bristol, the second chartered borough in Pennsylvania, the name of the township was changed to conform to that of the borough. This left Buckingham unappropriated, but it was very soon taken over by the settlers in this section, some of whom came from Buckinghamshire, England. As originally constituted, Buckingham was an immense township, being associated with Solebury under one jurisdiction. It extended from the Delaware on the east to about the Neshaminy on the west. Its north line was near the Plumstead Hills.

She and her husband had recently returned from England, where they had been among the American delegates to the great \" General Conference \" of the Society in London, and where Lucretia Mott was not permitted to attend in her official capacity, because of the resolution that no women were to be seated as delegates. The Conference met in June, 1840.
