“Lillian's name appears briefly in Edith Roller's journals for a Wednesday night meeting on September 22, 1976, but is followed by a blank; however, I infer from this that Lillian did live in San Francisco, or somewhere in the Bay Area, since Los Angeles members did not come up to SF for midweek meetings. However, like Mary Nellie Walker, these seniors were a large part of the congregation, attending regularly, and their faces are familiar to me. In Jonestown, Lillian worked as a vegetable worker in the Main Kitchen. ” - Kathryn Barbour
