in that state The eleven erandchil-
dren present at the Christmas party
have always lived in Hettinger county,
but some can claim Dickinson as their
birth place.
The reunion would have been complete
if the daughter, Mrs. j. F. Gaunt, now
living in Seattle. WASH, with her
husband and three children, and the
youngest son, Lester, of Baker. Mont.
had been present. Then the family
party of 30 members would be just the
kind that Ex-President Roosevelt would
like to see. What pleases us is the
fact that "a members of this fine family
are residents of Hettinger county.
Another pleasing thing to note is the
fact that every member of the Sunday
party is enjoying good health and
chances are good for q complete reunion
