When Allie MesSer and his sis.
ter, Mrs. James Federline, had
out-of-town guests in their homes
last week, it was more than lust
a social note for a column. 1t
marked the reunion of five or
phans who had not seen one an
other for 81 years.
The senior Mrs. Messer passed
away in 1922 in Lincoln County
Oklahoma. Five years later, her
husband died, and the five Messer
children were scattered in various
homes, first in Oklahoma and
then in all parts of the country.
With the passing of time, the
orphans completely lost contact
with each other. They married:
settled down and reared their
families, and only once in a while
heard from one of their brothers
and sisters.
Finally, last week, it was pos
sible for all of them to meet
here in Montgomery County.
Gathel Messer brought his family
from California. Mrs. Electra
Fisk came in from Wyoming.
Mrs. Callie Burns, together with
her husband and three children,
make their home in Oklahoma
now, but she came to Maryland
for the reunion.
Most of the visit was spent in
reminiscing about their early days
together as small children and in
catching up on what each one had
been doing in the intervening
years. There was time for sight
seeing, too. The California visit
ors were especially fascinated by
the autumn foliage.
Big sister, Callie Burns, remem-
berS her jobs as substitute moth
er, especially the times when she
sewed all day Saturday to have
three dresses ready for the girls
to wear to church on Sunday
morning. Mrs. Burns now oper.
ates a rest home in Kendrick
Okla, where her husband is a
construction worker. They have
three children and five grand
children.
Gathel and his wife have lived
in Oklahoma and in California
He is a carman on the Pacific
Fruit Express. He and his wife
Edna, have seven children and
nine grandchildren. Gathel found
that his interests in farming anc
in horseback riding were shared
by his brother, Allie, and they
enjoyed many hours of riding to
gether over the farm lands here
Electra Fisk and her husband
maintain a home in Wellston
Okla, but they spend most o.
their time travelling over The
United States and Canada in con
nection with Mr.. Fisks work a:
a foreman for the Fulton Pipe
Line Company. They are livihl
in Wyoming at present.

Mrs. Donald Nicholson had as
