More remotely the gathering was made
up of the descendants of Henry and
Betsy Allyn, who lived in Windsor,
Conn.,, about hundred years ago.
The event this year occurred on Sun
day last at the home of e. C. Banker,
419 Wheeler avenue, North Mankato,
and was an occasion fraught with
great pleasure and profit to all who
were present. The unique character
of gathering of this kind is distinct
ly impressive. 1t abounds in distinc-
tive social and fraternal features that
are as happy and joyous as they are
beautiful and fraternal and that can
not otherwise exist in social gath
ering. 1t brings together members
of one large family group all having
a common purpose, a common interest,
and all actuated by the same motive
Ito renew and cement ties of love
and friendship that bind them togeth-
er, to reverently speak Of their great
ly beloved progenitors and to do them
honor
We may possibly be pardoned for
speaking of this gathering as 1t is.
somewhat of family matter, but the
to inscribe briefly the de-
tails justifies us in so doing for the
purposes indicated of perpetuating a
record of the gathering, solely for the
benefit of those the most interested.
OF course such a gathering is in
teresting only to those who are parti-
cipants, and is is for their benefit that
these words are written. The day was
ideal, the surroundings and environ
ments beautiful in the extreme. Dur
ing the forenoon hours the relatives
came from all directions, from near
and far, by train and by auto. AS they
gathered the greeting were marked by
joyous expressions that
may only be in evidence on an occas-
sion of this kind In the shade of i'm
mense maple trees upon wide spread
ing lawn the dinner tables were pre-
pared 1t was, indeed, a joyous party
who partook of the good things pro-
vided. Mr.. and Mrs. Banker, assisted
by their daughters, who made the ar
and entertained the
crowd, left nothing undone that would
contribute to the joy of the day and
the unalloyed happiness of all con-
cerned.
After the dinner the company lis
tened for time to music, several
solos being rendered by Miss Grace
Banker, singer and musician OF
more than local renown, and then they
all joined in singing old time fami-
liar melodies. Later the crowd as
sembled on the lawn, where a bust
ness meeting was conducted with g.
w. Allyn as chairman. The Business
concluded, many were called upon for
remarks. Mr.. Banker paid a loving
and tender tribute to the two sisters
who were absent, Mrs. Wil!sey and
Mrs. Wade. G.. w. Allyn followed in
like vein, in his talk reciting many
incidents in the early pioneer life of
tho one brother and three sisters
whose descendants were gathered to
do them honor and reverence. MOI
was the memory of those who are
gone untouched Others who spoke
were w. e. Cross, Burton E. Orr, A.
E. Willsey, Fred Taylor and c. Wal
theirs.
A gathering of this Kind promotes
good fellowship, cements kindred ties
renews individual and family aspira
tions and perpetuates in permanent
form the record and history OF its
