Preachers, Doctors and Lawyers
Pred0minated.

The second annual reunion of the
Sturgeon family, at Cascade Park, on
Friday last, was an auspicious event,
says the Beaver Falls, Pa, Review.
Representatives of this now numer-
Gus family were present from Beaver
Butler, Allegheny, Washington, and
Fayette counties and from the state
of Ohio. 1t was representative gath
ering and included preachers, doctors,
lawyers, business men, farmers, arti-
sans and their wives, sons and daugh-
| ters.
| After dinner the members were call
ed to order by DR.. s. II. Sturgeon, one
of the leading physicians of Akron, o.
| Then followed a business meeting,
during which the officers or last year
were reelected. They are as follows.
President DR.. s. H. Sturgeon, of Ak
ron, o.; secretary, Miss Margaret s.
Sturgeon, of Candor, Pa; assistant
secretary, John Ii. Sturgeon, of Beaver
Falls, Pa; treasurer, s. H. Sturgeon,
of Oakdale, Pa.
The oldest member Of the family
present at the reunion was Mrs. Ann
Wilson, Of South Beaver township,
this county. She is SO years Of age and
enjoys good health. The heaviest
Sturgeon present was DIR. s. H. Stur-
geon of Akron, o., who tips the beam
at 912 pounds. Rev. Hugh Sturgeon
Of Darlington, was the second oldest,
being IS. An interesting family his
| tory was read by Miss Margaret S.
Sturgeon, of Candor, Pa DR.. s. D..
Sturgeon of New Gallilee, also read a
brief history Of his branch Of the fam
| lily.
Intellectually, morally and physical
ly, the Sturgeon family as d whole as
one of which the present generation
should justly feel proud. Those sturdy
pioneers who trusted in the Lord and
sought freedom across the Atlantic left
goodly heritage. They made each
place they immigrated to, better by
having lived there. They were strong
in mind and body, and II they loved a
principle they were willing to fight for
1t.
Prior to the year 1850, members Of
the Sturgeon family emigrated from
Holland to Ireland, carrying with them
the linen trade, being the first to intro
duce this industry into the Emerald
Isle 1t is recorded that at the siege of
| Derry, two members of this family
took prominent part. They We're the
sons of a widow, and one was killed
during the siege The remaining
brother, jeremiah, came to this coun-
