Me ardell Reunion At
Wheatland Park


The eigth annual McCardell re-
union was held at Wheatland Park
Sunday, Aug 25, with about 10
present. The chilly breezes and later
rain proved quite unfavorable, but
the crowd with picnic tables and
games, moved into the pavilion,
where the business meeting, contests
and supper were carried to compile
ton.
Members from near and more dis
tant sections attended for the first
, time, SO 1t is hoped that a more
widespread interest is gradually
growing.
Devotionals were conducted by
the President, Walter McCardell, in
the absence of the chaplain. A mo-
ment of silence was observed and
a fitting poem read in tribute to the
memory of a departed member,
Mrs. Annie e. McCardell.
