with six children, the youngest an ln-

we found that the lady was an enthu-
Florida, and that she had travelled for
the past two days and nights from her
home in Ocala, Florida, with all these
children, and for the express purpose
of attending this reunion. We for
bear using names, but we want to re-

the annual meetings as this one good
woman. from Florida, there need be no
fcar whatever that the Moorehead
name and fame should ever cease to

father of such promising children.
Long will the name be remembered
where you have made your home and
found your earthly treasures in such

RESOLUTIONS OF sympathy were adopt
ed upon tho death of Mrs. Emma
Moorehead Mcclellan, one of the frat
members of the familw to suggest the
