I found two references which lead me to believe the "B" is for the Iowa chapter in Fairfield.
The name discrepancy (Hathaway / Hathorn) needs more detective work than I can give it at the moment.
Fairfield Tribune
Fairfield, Jefferson, Iowa
Thursday, Dec. 28, 1882
26th- Marriage of Dr. J.E. Hathaway of
Arlington, Ill. to Miss Ella Dana of this city
Another book has a different name for her husband, but it includes a bio for him.
Dr Hathorn was married September 26 1882 in Fairfield Iowa to Miss Ella J Dana who was born September 29 1857 in Westfield Township.
