Excerpt from Representative Methodists: Biographical Sketches and Portraits of the Members of the Twentieth Delegated General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Held in the City of New York, May, 1888
Another fact should be mentioned. A number of excellent gentlemen and ladies were elected by Lay Conferences, but were excluded by vote of the majority of the General Con ference because of a doubt as to their constitutional eligibility: John M. Phillips, Esq, Mexico Conference; Hon. Robert E. Pattison, North India, who were chosen to represent Annual Conferences outside of whose boundaries they resided; Miss Frances E. Willard, Rock River; Mrs. Mary C. Nind, Minnesota; Mrs. Angie F. Newman, Nebraska; Mrs. Lizzie D. Van Kirk, Pittsburg; and Mrs. Amanda C. Rippey, Kansas, of all of whom it may be justly said that their eminent character and services equal those of any of the admitted delegates.
