Persons who become preachers among this people are never educated or ordained for the work. Their church in this section was known as the Westland Meeting-house, and was built upon land originally belonging to Michael Riggle. About the year 1851, the Orthodox Friends ceased to exist as a religious origination, all the members except Amos Griffith and his family having emigrated to other parts. This resulted in the sale of the property, which, after passing through several hands, came into the possession of Samuel Price. On March 25, 1865, it was purchased by Mrs. Ann Gregg, a widow lady, who lived in the building used by the Orthodox society, and her son uses the brick building erected for the Hicksites for a wagon-shop. A graveyard for the common use of both churches was laid out by them, and although there are no tombstones at the graves, --their peculiar belief prohibiting the placing of them,--the yard is quite full of graves, and kept in a moderately good condition. These tombstone readings were done by the DAR in 1938. The records are found in the genealogical section of the Citizens Library in Washington, PA.
