honored custom of holding reunions,
particularly since the advent of auto
mobiles and easy Transportation ia

given with music suitable for each
period of time. This included the

were rendered. A history of the
Craver and GLAND families who first
settled in this country was read with
great deal of interest.
A talk was given by Rev. Palmer
of Washington Grove and Mr.. Nc
