Date: 08/14/2004 1:03:49 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: tmyers3@nycap.rr.com (Tim Myers) To: joyceTice@aol.com (Joyce Tice) Joyce Here is the last photo. It is of the Lee/Woolsey (Myers) reunion from 1898. It most likely was at one of the Lee homes in New Albany. That is where they were usually held - sometimes in Millview or Evergreen. This comes to me from my cousin - Lee Stone Tim Myers |

The following is a transcription of the minutes of the Lee/Myers/Sturdevant Family Reunions beginning in 1910. Minutes were taken by Grace Sturdevant. The transcription is by David Bailey. His notes are found at the end of each section in italics. Over thirty years ago our reunions began by gatherings of children and grandchildren to celebrate the birthdays of Sally Tanner Lee on Nov. 29, of each year. After her death on March 14, 1900 we organized a Lee Reunion to consist
of the descendants of Williams and Sally Lee. Since August 1901, they have
been held annually, at the old homestead in Evergreen.
