it will long be remembered by the eighty relatives present as a very successful
affair. Gathered together as we were in that pleasant home, some only for
a few hours and yet others of us for a day or two, who will never regret
time or expense for the privilege. The day was one of God’s most beautiful
and the entertainment provided showed careful thought and labor on the
part of our hosts. The relatives from Roulette began to arrive the evening
before, and went in a delegation to meet the train which brought the relatives
from Elmira and other places. The reunion was held in honor of Mr. S. G.
Woodward, of Roulette, who is the oldest relative who was present. Since
