About One Hundred Gather In Center
Church for the Family Reunion
Dinner at the Tontiae.
There were fully one hundred present yes.
terday morning in Center church at the
Street family reunion. all descendants of
Rev. Nicholas Street, the second pastor of
Center church. The gathering was called to
order by 81. P. Street of Holyoke, Mass,
president of the association, who delivered
short address of welcome. Among other
things he said: The suspicious moment has
now come when the Street family is gathered
under one roof tree. Our forefathers, wheth-
er abiding within the ancestral homes in
England or seeking new homes in the new
world, were too much engaged in those
events which made Great Britain mistress of
the seas, and reared the great republic on
this side of the Atlantic, to think of the ad-
vantages of such a gathering. We who reap
the rich harvest of their labors at this later
day, perform grateful duty in thus re as
sembling. We meet to-day to press kim
dred hands, to look into kindred faces, and
to listen to voices which speak from hearts
warm with kindred blood.
As president of the Street association
welcome most heartily the many new faces
now seen with us for the first time. Those
who have undergone the irksomeness of travel
in order to attend especially do ] welcome
and commend to the attention of those to
whom this, our place of meeting, is nearer
home"
Prayer was offered by Rev. David Street,
which was received with enthusiastic
applause.
The reading of the poem was followed by
a historical address from Rev. George E.
Street. The paper, which was extremely
| interesting and we'll written, was devoted
| chiefly to the tracing of the family genealogy
| and incidents connected with events of inter-
est in our history in which members of the
family participated.
When he had concluded the corresponding
secretary, Mrs. NJ. A. Street, read paper, in
which she reviewed the work by which so
| many members of the family attended the
reunion. An original hymn by Miss M. E.
Dickerman was sung, after which the assem-.
blage repaired to the Tontine, where family
dinner was enjoyed. During the feast the
| time was spent in a social chat, and the vari'
GUS Streets discovered new relatives among
those who sat around the table.
