Observation-Disclosures Reunion

Strobe Elliott -HambletOn Reunion
About 95 years ago among the
early settlers in the part OF Nor
gan county made up of the parts or
Marion, Penn and Homer townships,
adjacent to Elliott's Cross Roads,
were Taylor and Elizabeth STROBE,
Elijah and Dorcas Elliott and Joseph
and Ann r. Hambleton From these
early pioneers and their humble set
tiers cabins, there developed large
line of descent. Families closely
linked by the bonds of relationship
and friendship Families whose
members have for generations been
closely identified with the life and
progress of Morgan county. Also
countless numbers have gone forth
from this county to become actively
identified with the life in other Ohio
counties, and in other states.
On Sunday, Aug. Is, the Strode-
Elliott-Hambleton descendants held
their fourth annual reunion in the
grove at Fairview grange hall. A
pleasant day was enjoyed by every
one. Most of the day was spent in
conversation (much of a remi-
niscent nature), renewing old
friendships and forming new ones
A bounteous dinner was served,
cafeteria style. Later in the day ice
cream and watermelon were served.
During the afternoon a meeting was
held in the grange hall. A short
program of music and talks was
rendered, followed by the election
of officers and the arranging of next
years reunion. The present officers,
Hiram Hart, president, and Claire
Strobe. secretary, were reelected,
and Arthur Hambleton and Mrs. A.
f. Patterson were appointed as
committee to assist the officers.
The reunion next year will be held
at the same place, the third Sunday
of August, the grove at Fairview
grange hall. An invitation is extend
ed to all members of the three fam
lilies to be present.
