Robinson Reunion.

The James Robinson descendants
met at the home OF Jesse and Felicia
Robinson at the brick house on the
hill in Mt. Vernon village, Aug. 27,
for their annual reunion. The day
WAS very beautiful and goodly num-
Der were in attendance. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ephraim Robinson and Miss Annie
Douglass, Mr.. and Mrs Maynard Sher-
burne and Two children Lawrence
and Donald, Mrs. Aleado Hall, Miss
Carrie Hall and Master Ray Hall Mr..
and Mrs Crosby Rundlette, Mrs LII
cinda Williams and daughter, Julia,
Mr.. and Mrs Fremont Davis and Miss
Myrtle 4sobinson, all of Mt Vernon;
Mr. and Mrs. John W. Bacon and six
children, Velma, Nellie, Philip, John,
Jr., Joseph and James, of Mercer;
Mrs. Harriet Quinn of New Hamp-
shire; Carl Davis of Philadelphia,
and John NJ Rowe of New Sharon.
There were seven invited guests,
Mr.. and Mrs. Emery Bean and son,
Ralph, of Mt. Vernon; Mrs. John So
per of Roxbury, Mass; Mrs. Lewis of
South Bend, Indiana Miss Utter of
Mt. Vernon, and Miss Ethel Stanley of
Readfield.
Promptly at II O'Clock, a bountiful
dinner was served by the ladies', to
which all did justice After dinner
some weQt for a walk while Others
gathered in the sitting-room and
talked and listened to the selections
on the photograph given by Ralph
Bean, which were much enjoyed by
all.
At 20 a business meeting was call
ed to elect new officers for the ensuing
year. Jesse Robinson was chosen to
fill the presidents office, vacated last
May by the death of James r. Jewell,
who is greatly missed Crosby Run
dlette was elected vice president, and
Ephriam Robinson, secretary and
treasurer.
! Jesse Robinson went to New Hamp-
shire a short time before the reunion
to learn all he could in regard to the
ancestors, but was unable to state the
facts TO the company on account Of
some delay in having them copied anil
sent to him, but if nothing prevents,
he will interest us all at the next an
nual gathering. After the meeting,
as is the custom, We assembled in the
front yard for our pictures Mr. and
Mrs. Crosby Rundlettc will entertain
the company at Masonic hall in Mt.
Vernon in 1919. on this same occasion.
The exact date will be determined
later, and notices will be sent to the
different relatives. many of whom
have not previously attended. It is
also interesting to know that the
Robinson family" were among the
first people to settle in New Hamp-
shire and Mt. Vernon, Me.
