Thompson Family
Annual Reunion
Held at Falkland

Saturday afternoon and evening,
June 6, there was a great deal of
activity in and around the school
at Falkland, where $50 members of
the family of Andrew jackson and
Mary Elizabeth Thompson, of
Montgomery County, met for their
annual reunion. These gatherings
started twenty-five years ago, at
the home of one of their eleven
children, and for several years
were held at one of their homes.
However, as the families increased
in size, larger meeting places were
needed, and for many years they
met at the old Grange Hall at
Burtonsville, which has recently
been torn down.
Five of the original eleven chill
dren, seven daughters and four
sons, are still living and attend
and enjoy these reunions. They are {:
Mrs. Annie E. Wilson, the eldest
daughter, of College Park; Mrs.
Mae I. johnson of Washington;
Mrs. Jessie T. Lasswell, the young
est daughter, of Arlington; Her,
bert E. Thompson, well-known,
lifelong resident of Spencerville,
who acted as host this year; and
Reverend Almus C. Thompson, the
baby of the family, of Condersport,
Penna.
There are at the last counting,
40 grand children, 103 great grand
children, 55 great, great grand
children and one great, great, great
grandchild, who was born in 1852.
The afternoon was spent play
ing ball, pitching horseshoes, and
visiting, after which all enjoyed
a picnic supper. They were enter
tanned in the evening by the varied
talent of the youngsters, and after
refreshments of ice cream and
home made cake, said good bye"
until June, 1854.

The object of this proceeding is
to procure a divorce A VINCULO
MATRIMONII by the Complains
ant, George Maude Pearre, from
the Defendant, Jason Dewey
Pearre.
The Bill of Complaint states, in
substance, that the Complainant is
resident of Montgomery County,
Maryland, where she has resided
for more than one year last past;
that the Defendant is a non-resi-
dent of the State of Maryland,
whose last known address was 81
Taylor Street, NV, c/o George
Pearre, Washington, DC; and
that the Complainant was married
to the Defendant on the 9Th day
of July, 1949, at Ellicott City, by
Rev. Herbert Payne, regularly
ordained minister of the Gospel,
and that as a result of the said
marriage one child was born,
namely, Katrina Hope Pearre;
the Bill further alleges that since
the said marriage the Complainant
has always conducted herself as a
kind, chaste, dutiful, faithful and
afectionate wife towards the said
Defendant, but, nevertheless, the
said Defendant did, on or about
the 18th day Of March, 1851, With
out just cause or reason abandon
and desert your Complainant, de-
claring his intentions 10 live with
her no longer as husband and wife,
and the said abandonment was de-
liberate and final, and has contin-
ued uniterruptedly for more than
eighteen months since said date
and that the separation between
the parties to this cause is beyond
any hope or expectation of recon-
ciliation. The Bill then prays that
the Complainant be divorced A
VINCULO MATRIMONII from
the Defendant, and that she may be
granted the care and custody of
the infant child in these proceed
ings mentioned, and for such other
relief as the nature of her case
may require.
1t is thereupon this 18th day Of
June, 1863, by the Circuit Court
for Montgomery County, sitting as
"a Court Of Equity, ORDERED
that the Complainant give notice
TO the said nonresident Defendant
Of the object and substance of this
Bill Of Complaint by causing a
copy Of the same TO be published
in the Montgomery County Sent
incl once a week for four success
sive weeks prior TO the goth day
Of July, 1868, commanding him TO

Decree should not be passed as
prayed.
