REUNION OF LAKE
FAMILY LARGEST EVER.

The Reunion of the Lake Family
at Wesley Church on Thursday was
the largest in the history of the or
g~anization. Over sixty were served
at the famed chicken potpie dinner
given by the Ladies' Aid Society of
that church.
With one or two exceptions the old
officers were reelected for the ensu-
ing year.
Among the interesting addresses
was one by Simon Lake, of subma-
rine note, and one by Calvin W. Lake,
a representative of the Canada
branch of the Lake family.
Some disappointment was expert
enced when it was found that the
"History of the Lake Family" did
not arrive from the publishers to be
distributed at the meeting. But it
was promised for the near future,
and will prove a most valuable book
being the most complete genealogy
published of any family in South
Jersey.
Perhaps the man who came the
longest distance was Calvin w. Lake,
who halls from Sydenham, Canada.
He is a direct descendent of the fami-
ly, but this is the first reunion he has
attended and his first visit to this
section.
