family of eight children only three are
living. Jesse, the youngest child,
who is now in Lizabula, Washington,
was unable to be present. The two
daughters, Mrs. L. G. Horseman and
Mrs. Jesse Larkin and her husband
were present to greet the fourteen
grandchildren with their husbands,
wives and children, making in all
forty.three children who, with two of
John and Ellen Edwards descendants
and few neighbors and friends, made
up the company. Near the noon hour
a long table was spread and laden to
its full capacity with the substantials
and delicacies of the season. When
all we're seated a CHEEKY song of greet
ing was sung by the third generation
and the following beautiful address
of welcome delivered by Mrs. j. F..
Larkin. Dear children and friends,
we welcome you here to our childhood
home, with its fond recollections and
memories so dear These walls need
no penciling to paint the pictures
that float before us to-day, they are
photographed on memory's page.
Each room tells to us some tale of by
gone days. We see the old cellar
where the apples were stored, the
garrett where the old rubbish was
thrown, and the upstairs chambers
where snugly we slept and the homely
old kitchen with its broad hearth
stone. Listen to the familiar voices
of brothers, sisters and friends gath
cred there. See the long tables spread
for birthday dinners, the holiday BAN
