The Woods Family Reunion.

A FAMILY REUNION.-At the home
of L. B. Woods, Of Surprise, Neb.,
there occurred on last Wednesday,
Aug. 81, a rather unusual event. A
family reunion is not. an unusual &C.
currence, but that ten brothers and
sisters, who have attained the ages OF
from forty-five to sixty-eight years,
after being widely Separated and scat
tered from Pennsyvlania to the state
of Washingtop,. should come together
without the loss of one, is remarkable
especially when we note that four OF
the number, since the time of the last
meeting. have passed through the dam
gers of the Civil war. They were last
together forty-three years ago at the
home Of their father, .qJacob Woods,
who then lived in Armstrong Co., Pa,
the occasion being the.marriage of the
eldest of the sisters tosMr. J. B. Fer
guson, who now lives'in Lincoln, Neb.
Mr.. Woods brothers and sisters are
as follows:
Daniel Woods, NJ arion, Ohio.
Joel Woods, Henderson, Iowa.
Mrs. J. B. Fergusons Lincoln, Neb.
Isaac Woods, SheitonjasW a shington

joyful and sad-joyfu in anticipation
and sad at parting.
