Mrs. Rowland is exceptionally stronf
Tor her age, being able to get abou
anywhere without any help. The oc
casion was enjoyed by all. One
would not think there were any hard
times in this country who could have
seen the table loaded down with SO
many good things.
Then it is a most beautiful sight
to see children and grand children
show the affection for their mother
and grandmother that was shown AT
this reunion. Mrs. Rowland has
reasons to be proud of all her chill.
dren for she has lived to see
them all doing well and holding re-
sponsible positions where they live,
Everybody in this section knows
Grandmother Rowland and they are
always glad to see her. She always
meets you with a smile, and will make
you feel that it's not SO bad to be
aged after all. May Grandmother
Rowland live TO have many more
birthdays and reunions like the one
held July 1st, 1921
After dinner there was delicious
course Of ice cream served.
