A Notable Family Reunion.

A unique and interesting event occurred
at the home OF Royal A. Swan, West
Rochester, on Saturday, Dec. s. On this
old home farm OF the late Malcom q.
KinsmRn there assem- bled his ten children
10 renew fraternal ties. The gathering
was a remarkable one from the fact that
the circle Of brothers and sisters has
never been invaded by death, and that all
are in good health and honored and re-
spected in the several communities In
which they live.
Malcom q. Kinsman was a soldier In
the war OF the rebellion and died at New
Orleans In Feb, 1868. The mother with
true maternal devotion managed to keep
her family together, although obliged to
contend with many obstacles. The old
est son served three years in the army; the
others, as they grew Older, assisted in
maintaining the home. The mother died
in July, 1877.
The following is brief record OF the
lives OF the children arranged according
to age: Albert, after his discharge from
the army, went West and settled in Wis
consin. 10 1898 he and his wife made
flying visit to Vermont. This reunion
was suggested by him at that time.
Sarah ID. rendered aid in caring for the
younger children and finally removed to
to Massachusetts,, where she now resides
in comfortable Circumstances. Eliza A.

other ten valued friends and neigh h5ors.
Chas. Kinsman and son of Rochester
took photographs OF the entire group, and
also of the ten children.
Various anecdotes OF bygone days were
told. One circumstance which was re-
called aroused much merriment. 1t seems
that the boys had been sliding down hill
on punches of June grass, which is ex-
ceedinply slippery. This drew from the
mother the remark thas she would put on
their trousers "patches that would set"
The old clock, which has done duty for go
years and is still keeping good time, was
an object OF much interest. The eombin-
ed ages OF the ten children were 492 years

formed by him as publisher in the interest
