Tyson Reunion

The 22nd Annual Reunion of the
Tyson family met at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Marion e. Rose at
Hance's Point, on the North East
River, in Cecil County, on Saturday,
August ~.
The host, Marion Rose, had put
up tables in the form Of the letter
'"T'' and by the time the members OF
this large family arrived and spread
the contents Of their baskets and
boxes on that "T'' table, it was with
difficulty we were able to keep the
boys away from it until Maude Rose,
the hostess, had her coffee ready to
serve and her iced tea iced suffici-
emily to be enjoyed. When Maude
and her helpers came with the COT
fee and tea we all sat down, and to
say justice was done to the fried chic
ken, chicken salad, ham, beef, cheese,
pickles, preserves, jellies, salads,
potato chips, luscious fruit, is mild
ly expressing it. The word was whis-
pered around, not to cut the cakes
as ice cream was to be served later
and the cake must be saved for that,
however, one family who had
brought large delicious looking
cocoanut cake, did cut theirs on the
sly, and later asked the writer OF
this, to sneak the half of her cake to
serve with the ice cream, as when
she cut the cake to taste to see how
good it was, all at her end OF the
table had to have little and soon
one half of the cake had disappear
ed. However, there were plenty OF
cakes to serve with the ice cream,
which was served about 4.30 O'Clock
to a very appreciative group. 1t is
so lovely at the Rose cottage, and
the day was perfect, with lovely
breeze from the River, so that ap-
petites just grew as fast as they
were appeased, so foodstuffs disap-
peared as fast as appetites appear
ed. After dinner as the officers were
able to get around, they called the
meeting to order, had minutes read,
and themselves reelected, then cal
led for the program which had been
1
consisting of Mrs. Carroll Tyson,
Jos. T. Tyson and Mrs. Harold Ty-
son. Miss Bertha Tyson gave an in
teresting talk on her trip to the
Pacific Coast, to attend the National
w. C. T. U. Convention held in San
Francisco, and Mrs. Rachel Tyson
MacClure told OF her winter in
Florida and trip she had to Cuba,
which was greatly enjoyed. The Ty-
son Song, composed by Mrs. Carroll
Tyson was sung and George Hip
kins played several selections on his
Piano7Accordian, which received
much applause. A very humorous
number was sung by Carroll Tyson
entitled: Candidates" words and
music of same having been composed
by his wife. This brought out loud
applause. Jesse Tyson, 80 years OF
