===Ralph Ernest Buchanan familyLawrence County Meeting Room===
In 1917, Gertrude Minnie Beckwith Buchanan (b. 1884 East St. Louis, St. Clair, [[Illinois|IL]] - d. 1957 St. Francisville, [[IL]]) was listed in a TW meeting list as being in fellowship, while living in Lawrenceville. She was a daughter of Milan Beckwith and Minnie Putnam Beckwith. Her siblings included Forest Beckwith (East St. Louis, IL) & Mrs. Guy Stelle (Fort Worth, [[Texas|TX]]. Paul Geveden (KY) officiated her memorial service in 1957.
In 1944, Ralph Buchanan was still serving as a correspondent, with his eldest son Ernest assisting, and Ralph (likely) upheld until his homegoing in 1959.
By 1949, the meeting room had relocated to St. Francisville, with Ralph & Ernest Buchanan, and Ralph's second son Clement, the latter replaced by his third son Warner in 1951. In 1962, the correspondents were Ernest Buchanan, and Thomas Van Holstyn. In 1966, it was Ernest, and his brothers Clement and Warner, and by 1973, Joe Sanford had been added, replaced by Edward F. Dear in 1985.
By 1999, the meeting room had returned to Lawrenceville, and the contacts were Ralph E., Arthur and Clement Buchanan. Clement was replaced by Daniel Buchanan in 2005, and Chuck Henricks, and the correspondents in more recent years are four Buchanans.
