Five Generations Of Nancy Groves
Family Get Together.

1t is not often than five generations
all living at the same time can be
found, but such was the case when,
on Monday of last week at the j Nj.
Ogle home in New Sharon, Mrs. Nan
cy Groves of Union township and four
generations of her posterity were to-
gether and had their pictures taken.
They were Mrs. Nancy Groves. her
daughter, Mrs. J. MrOgle, her grand
daughter, Mrs. Eugene O'Brien, great
granddaughter, Mrs. Homer Holloway,
and the great-gTeAt grandson. little
Kenneth Holloway Mrs. Groves is
ninety-two years old and is robbed OF
her eyesight, but notwithstanding,
she is active and cheerful and. takes
delight in her posterity. The occasion
was one of interest to, all concerned,
and the picture taken at this time
will become before many years a val
ued heirloom because of the rarely
of five generations. Grandmother
Groves is to be congratulated on her
long life and posterity.
