There was a Plymouth Brethren meeting room, initially with the Darbyites, and after 1909, informally, with the Tunbridge Wells branch of the so-called Exclusive Brethren, in Talmage, Kansas from around 1900 thru 1933. One In the Mar. 22, 1900 issue of the ''Abilene Weekly Reflector'', it was reported for the Talmage local news, the "Plymouth Brethren have closed their revival in the hall and have gone to Manchester to conduct a series of meetings."There was an exclusive assembly in Manchester +1898-1903+. One of the correspondents, [[Judson Alden Sr.]] (1835-1923) is credited as such from 1908 until his death. The first correspondents are listed as G.W. Miller, and J.T. Moore, in 1905, see the correspondent section for a fuller list.
It can be presumed that the Talmage meeting was started around 1894, with Judson Alden and Alexander Martin as correspondents, in [[Manchester Meeting Room, KS|Manchester]], of which, they ceased to meet in Manchester by 1903, and thus moved in 1904-1905 to Talmage. Judson's widow, Laura, and their daughter Grace were the final correspondents in 1933, with none listed by 1944, with the next volume of contacts. Grace then served as sole correspondent for a preaching point at Abilene, from at least 1944 thru 1973, as the other area assemblies had closed by that point. There was also a similar meeting 1889-1933 in Chapman.
