Along with Dan Treadway, I was one who assisted in preparing the records in the vault of Iowa Yearly Meeting (FUM) at Oskaloosa, Ia. for microfilming. Oak Run Meeting was probably first organized about 1874, probably as a Preparative Meeting of Ackworth Monthly Meeting centered at the village of Ackworth located three miles east of Indianola, Iowa. Ackworth Preparative Meeting was probably organized about 1849, being first known as South River Meeting, Three River Monthly Meeting, including South River Meeting, was set off from Pleasant Plain Monthly Meeting in 1852. The name of Three River Monthly Meeting was changed to South River MM about 1860. About 1872 the name of South River Monthly Meeting was changed to Ackworth Monthly Meeting. South River Quarterly Meeting was organized about 1860 to include Monthly Meetings in South Central and West Central Iowa. Bear Creek Quarterly Meeting was set off from South River QM in 1866 to include Monthly Meetings west of Des Moines. In 1890 Des Moines Meeting was organized, composed of Monthly Meetings in the general Des Moines area, a combination of Monthly Meetings which had previously belonged to Ackworth and Bear Creek Quarterly Meetings. I believe that Oak Run Meeting was transferred from Ackworth Quarterly Meeting to Des Moines Quarterly Meeting at this time. The Friends records kept in the vault at Oskaloosa are shelved according to Quarterly Meeting. There are numerous records from Monthly Meetings in Ackworth Quarterly Meeting, but I did not examine them carefully during the brief time I was assisting in organizing the records for microfilming. I worked primarily with records from Bear Creek Quarterly Meeting and also did some work with records from Des Moines Quarterly Meeting, but I do not recall working specifically from records from Oak Run. They are probably shelved with the Ackworth Quarterly Meeting records. There is a record book of minutes from Des Moines Quarterly Meeting for the years from 1890 to 1916. The Selby Publishing Company has published abstracted records from some Iowa Yearly Meeting Monthly Meetings, abstracts which were probably made under William Wade Hinshaw's direction but not completed before his death. I believe that Ackworth Monthly Meeting and Pleasant Plain Monthly Meeting abstracted records are included in this set, if it can be found in some genealogical library. I know that a set is on file in the Iowa Genealogical Society Library in Des Moines. These abstracts might show when the Folwells brought a certificate of Friends membership to Iowa. If they came before 1852, they may have brought their membership to Pleasant Plain Monthly Meeting. If they came after 1852, they probably brought their certificate to Three River Monthly Meeting. - Herbert Standing, Earlham, Iowa
