at the reunion. There are forty
grandchildren and eighteen great
grandchildren, many Of whom were
in attendance.
A material and literary feast was
enjoyed at the noon hour beneath
a large tent, which the host had ar
ranged as a shelter from the sun or
dampness. Lines were read by Mrs.
Lewis Fell, of Wilmington; Grand
mother Eastburn offered prayer and
Samuel Fell, Jr., of Wilmington,
spoke appropriately to the occasion.
An early start from distant homes
had sharpened the appetites OF the
guests and the plentiful luncheon
was of most satisfying nature.

pany was photographed by William
