REUNION OF
DERR FAMILY

The Derr reunion, which took place |
at the fine old homestead occupied by |
Miles ]. Derr, Limestone township, on |
Saturday, was noteworthy event, both |
by reason of the large kinship assemb-
lad and the addresses that were de-
livered, the music rendered, etc.
The reunion was held OH the spac-
ious lawn in front of the homestead.
Here tables were spread and sump-
tious dinner prepared for the occasion
was eaten in the shade of the fine old
trees
Addresses we're made by Rev. O. +.
! Oarll, pastor of the Baptist church at
Turbotville, aud q. w. Derr, Superin-
tendent of the schools of Montour
County. George Fry of Limestone
township read some original poems,
quite felicitous in their way, which
contributed much to the general am
usement. There was some excellent
music ON the occasion, the singers
surrounding an organ which had been
carried out on the wide piazza. The
day was simply ideal in its nature
the large assemblsge of people were
all in fine spirits and the event social
ly was quite as much of a success as
in other respects.

ed by eleoting J. Miles Derr, Presi-
