AIfappy Gathering.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Gravelle and
daughter. who have been visiting relatives
and renewing old friendships for several
weeks have returned to their home at
Fargo. North Dakota. Miss Gravelle is
charming young lady who has met with
many agreeable surprises on tits, her
first visit to Michigan.
Frank has Travelled extensively in the
Northwest in his calling as a missionary,
yet he has found no place quite like this
vicinity for good living.
The Grayells FANNY celebrated the
flftieth anniversary OF their arrival at
Greenville with picnic dinner at the resi-
dence Of George w. Gravelle. who owns
a portion Of the original homestead pur-
chased by his father before leaving New
York. Promptly at one o'clock the COM
pany were ushered mo the spacious din
ing room where feast fit for king
was spread. three young ladies dressed
in white doing the serving. The table
decorations were tropical fruits and del
cately shaded asters and gadiolis arrang-
ed in beautiful center piece by Mrs.
Clarence Osgood. Many amusing anec-
dotes were told to give zest to the occa-
sion and music and brilliant conversation
occupied the afternoon and evening hours
when all returned TO their respective
homes. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Gravele
spent several of the following days at the
homestead near Smyrna looking over the
effects Of his late father and secured
some highly priced mementoes of his
youthful days. Driving over to Bedding
they found some of the people anxious to
make life interesting for them and they
were lured to Pine Island Lake to see how
the face OF nature had changed during
their absence and also to see how the fish
had grown Mr.. Gravelle caught twenty
three but space forbids us to tell what he
did with them. Mr.. Fred Underwood
gave the family q ride around the city in
mis- automobile which was highly appre-
ciated by all as it gave them glimpse of
many beauty spots and the improvements
since they were here.
Mrs. Roosevelt gave an elegant luncheon
the following Sunday to members OF the
family so that all might have a chance to
say good bye. The Gravelle can trace
heir paternal ancestry back to the French
Aristocracy in the days of Napoleon Bon
aparts. Their paternal ancestors were
he Rev. Amos Crandell of Stonington,
conn. and James Sweet of New York,
, wealthy real estate dealer.
