Is North Street Meeting House haunted?

No claims are filed here — the record keeps this place for its documented history, not for a haunting on file.

The record — long form

North Street is the schism — the '1834' that's the Orthodox built brick, the 'deprived of our meeting' that's the Hicksites took theirs. The 'Howlands' is the attended — the 'Slocum's family' that's the worshiped here, the 'Sherwood' that's the UGRR hamlet. The '$1,600' is the subscribed — the 'horse sheds' that's the 200 feet required, the 'burial ground' that's the deed reserved.

The 'two meetings' is the split — the 'Orthodox' that's the brick built, the 'separated' that's the schism's cost. The 'private residence' is the now — the '1906 sold' that's the worship ended, the 'cemetery kept' that's the deed preserved. North Street is the faithful — the 'Scipio Monthly' that's the parent meeting, the 'Network '07' that's the listed.

The file keeps North Street: the schism's brick, the Howland worship, the horse sheds, and the reserved cemetery.

North Street Meeting House is the archive's New York file — the schism's building.

Why this file matters

North Street Meeting House is the archive's New York file — built because Friends split.

A meetinghouse keeps its minutes — the file's suggestion being that North Street's hold is the documented: the 'deprived of our meeting' that's the schism recorded, the 'Howlands' that's the conductors worshiped, and the 'cemetery reserved' that's the kept in the deed.
