Family Reunion.

Ralph Swarthout, who is justly entitled to
call himself an old pioneer Of Seiota, was
agreeably surprised on Saturday, February
9th, on receiving visit from his children,
with their several families, who had come
to help him celebrate his roth birthday
anniversary.
His four sons, and two daughters, with
the wives, husbands and grand children,
were all present-an unbroken family. 1t
is a surprising fact that death has never
visited any member of his large family,
either children or grandchildren, and he
has reached the allotted 'three score years
and ten," and passed the roth milestone on
lite's journey surrounded by every member
of the family, land no vacant chair"
Mr.. Swarthout settled with his wife on
the farm he now occupies two miles north
of our village, over 46 years since. Here
he has had the satisfaction of seeing his
children grew to man and womanhood, and
with one exception married and comforta-
bly, settled around him, one son still remain
ing ut home.
He knows what it means to be a pioneer
in new country-to hew out n home and
provide for large family. His health Is
still good, he is supple, Industrious, and
enjoys life, and we hope he may live to en-
joy many more birthday meetings.
The children had come with we'll filed
baskets, and after having partaken of
bountful dinner, and spending tho day in
social home intercourse, and presenting
their father with handsome Bible, each

the day would live IN memory for years to
