About This Book

The author presents a detailed sociological account of a rural Quaker community from its early settlement through internal divisions, economic and transportation changes, and later assimilation with new residents. Drawing on local records and long-term residence, the study examines land use, household economy, amusements, moral ideals, religious practice, social organization, and mutual welfare, and considers how the community’s idealization of plainness and neighborly responsibility shaped collective identity. Appendices of family, meeting, and deed records support the demographic and institutional analysis.
