A social meeting of II. f. X. Hall

though bad night very pleasant time
was the result.
We quote the following from the Bos-
ton Daily Globe of August oath:
Away up in the Green Mountain State,
in Vershire there has Just been a very in
teresting family reunion, some of the
participants being Boston and Cambridge
people, who arrived home to-day. Sim
con Titus and wife of Vershire held a re-
union of all their sons and daughters,
some married and others single, and of
course the grandchildren were there too,
at the old homestead, which has been oe-
cupied by father and son for 81 years.
The present old farmhouse was pre-
ceded by log cabin, where Joseph Titus,
the father of Simeon, brought home his
wife in 1892: that was the time when
they were 30 miles from mill, store or
any other evidence of civilization.
The present house was built so years
ago and has been the scene of varied
events. Three generations live in the
house to day-Simeon B. Titus, Frank
S., his son, and in turn, Glen, his son.
SO few days ago they all (the Titus
: folk came back to the old home at in
vitation of father and mother, and
brought with them eight of the thirteen
grandchildren, but not quite all of those
who were boys and girls together were
there.
When the civil war stirred up the land
from end to end three sons of Simeon
Titus went to fight the battles of the
Union and two of them never came back
Melville j. and Joseph L. The other,
Maurice z. was confined in Libby, Mill
len, and lastly Andersonville; and one of
the married daughters, Mrs. Hazen gave
her help as an army nurse. The follow
ing is a list of those present. Mrs. Fan
ny T. Hazen of Cambridge, Maurice p.
Titus, Mr.. and Mrs. O. A. Clogston of
Straflord VT, Mrs. J. Z. Hall of Balti-
more, Chas. NJ. Titus of Boston, Frank
S. Titus and wife of Yershire, Mrs. Myra
+. Titus of Boston.
If Mrs. Alma NJ. Conant, who is the
wife of one of the Globes pressmen, had
been there with her two children four
generations would have been represented.
