A party OF seventy-seven genuine Down
casters gathered at Luther hall, Cam
bridge, Mass, Friday evening, Feb. 4, for
the third annual reunion of the sons and
daughters Of Lamoine. 1t was good to 60
through the crowd receiving the welcom-
| ing hand and the smile of cheer from 90
many. One could almost imagine him.
self under the.pines at Blunt's pond ct one
OF the 0ld-t time Sunday school picnics, OF
down at the shore when the CLAIMS were
steaming in the bake.
There were John Coolidge, young and
jolly a. he was thirty years ago; Still
Young, Tom King, Eb. and Tilda Googins.
"Ant" Reynolds and Ellie, Albert Whita-
ker and Addie, Otis and George, Addie
Jote, Cole Hodgkins, Ed, Bunny, Marcia

Lou, Sadie Coggins, Esther Whitaker,
and Forrest, Cad and Frances, Celia and
Charles, Abbie Pad, Dan Mcfarland, Mel
and Della, Henry Gerrish, Harvard Per-

Cros. and Graf.
These were not all, nor are these the
| names that you will find in the List below,
but these are the names by which we know
them, and each will bring to the mind OF
every old Lamoiner happy memories Of
the old days.
Well, by and by Eb. Googins, the presi-
dent, called the meeting to order and q
brief business session was held. Next
| years officers are Ant. Reynolds and Sadie
Coggins Tweedie, and all the rest Of the
sons and daughters seem perfectly willing
to leave everything in their hands and let
them do all the work II they want to.
Then Henry Gerrish's girl played . vio-
lin solo, beautifully. too, and after that
several short talks were listened to. John
Coolidge, Dan Mcfarland, Mel McFar-
land, Cole Hodgkins, Ant. Reynolds each
making remarks.
Refreshments came next, and although
| no clam stew or paddock smo her was
served, it was noticed that the ice-cream
was warmly received. A lot more chat
ting followed, and I think everybody
wondered where the time had gone
when we looked ct the clock and found 1t
to be sitter II.
| Through the secretary Q most cordial in
vitation has been extended to all Lamoin-
ers to attend the big Ellsworth re union at
Paul Revere hall, Mechanics building,
Boston, Feb. Is.
| It may be that some son or daughter Of
Lamoine did not receive an invitation
card. II 20, it il because the address was
not known, or that the committee did not
remember that the persons had removed
to Massachusetts,. viii everyone who
reads this who has not attended any Of the
reunions, please send name and address Ia
the secretary, that it may be listed for fu-
thre use?
