Seven years ago Mr.. and Mrs. H.
Roberts, of Oskaloosa thought i
would be the proper thing to have
reunion of the Roberts family and i
was done and reunion has been hell
every year since. This year it wa
held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E
II. Ferguson, southwest of town, ant
the 7th annual event occurred Sun
day. No nicer day could have beer
selected for the affair as the weather
man was most gracious ON this oc
casion. About fifty-five Of tie reia
tives were present and most de
lightful time was had The guests
came with baskets bullying out at the
sides with good things TO eat and the
Ferguson home furnished its full
quota, as Mrs. Ferguson is known as
a splendid cook and has been used to
cooking for a large family. The din.
ner was served on the lawn and such
meal has not been partaken of in
many a day. 1t so happened that in
the 'eatings" there were no real seri-
Gus duplicates, except fried chicken,
and that was no mistake as witness
ed by the small amount left. 1t GER
tainly was a most delicious meal and
everyone enjoyed it, as they did the
