Edward Wakefield Pim: Quaker, Charitable Society Member & historian

#OnThisDay 1919 Belfast Charitable Society passed a resolution in regard to the great loss to the Society caused by the death of Edward Wakefield Pim Esq J.P.

E.W. Pim was, for many long years the Honourary Secretary, and it was his foresight in 1907 that led to the recording of inscriptions on extant headstones in Clifton Street Cemetery. This created a unique record which is still used for reference today due to the destruction which was wrought in the cemetery since then.
