Dear Joyce,
I want you to know that this is the first New Year's Resolution that
I have ever followed through on. There were times that I thought
I would run out of material but I now realize that I have much more in
my collection to share. Thank goodness for a family of "savers."
My December submission consists of Manchester Family photos. The
Reunion photos will have 4 parts: photo, photo ID sketch, photo ID names,
and the write-up from the Manchester Reunion Minutes Book. If there
is a problem with the way I did this, let me know and I'll change it to
suit your needs. The 1922 photo I had to do in two parts (left and
right) as my scanner wouldn't handle the length of the photo. I will
send in more than one email.
Thank you for this opportunity to share. Kathy Manchester Jones
1. 1902 Manchester Family Reunion
According to family records, this family gathering
began in 1900 and continued until 1987. I attended the 1987 reunion,
which was held at the Warren Center Community building in Warren Township,
Bradford County PA. In the early years, the reunion was held at the
home of a family member, but for many years it was held at Kirby Park in
Nichols, NY.
For the most part, this Reunion was for the descendants
of brothers Iram Manchester and William Manchester of Warren Township,
Bradford County, PA. Iram lived right on the Warren/Orwell border
and was closest to the village of Potterville. Occasionally, siblings
(and their families) of Iram and William also attended. This Manchester
family came to Bradford County from Pittstown, Renssalaer County, NY.
Many thanks to Madeline Manchester Allis, Clarice Cook Daugherty, Alyce
Edsell Moore and Emmett "Steve" Manchester for identifying the folks in
the photos. I'm so glad that I took these photos to them when I did,
as all are now deceased.

1902 Manchester Reunion
The third meeting was at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Reed Cook. The
families were very well represented. We were pleased to greet the
bride of Ernest Manchester (Miss Florie Cook). Also of George Manchester
(Miss Lulu Matteson) and little daughter Mavis. There were also present
with us two sisters of William and Iram Manchester, Mrs. Sally Ann Wallace
of Johnsonville, New York, and Mrs. Frances D. Whitaker of Louisburg, Miami
County, Kansas. It also commemorated the 44th anniversary of the
marriage of Iram and Harriet N. Manchester. A very fine dinner was
served preceding which as a blessing the doxology was sung, “Praise God
From Whom All Blessings Flow,” led by Mrs. Whitaker. After dinner
we gathered in the parlor and were treated to some music on the piano by
Miss Leora Cook and singing by all. Then came a surprise. C.M.
Hunt stepped forward and in a few well chosen preliminary remarks presented
Mr. and Mrs. Iram Manchester with a fine rocker, the gift of their
children and sisters of Mr. Manchester. To which Mrs. Manchester
responded. After which all gathered in a group and had their pictures
taken by Luther Chrispie. Mrs. Dorman Bowen was a guest at this meeting.

1922 Manchester Reunion
The 22nd Annual Reunion of the Manchester Family
On August 12, 1922 the descendants of the Manchester Family gathered
together at the home of W.G. Schrier in Athens, Pennsylvania. The
day was cool enough for comfort and every one appeared in the best of spirits.
After everyone had exchanged greetings and enjoyed a good old time
visit, - comparing babies etc, dinner baskets began to appear. Groups
formed at tables set here and there on the large, beautiful grounds surrounding
the Schrier home. After a typical Manchester feast to which our host
added a liberal treat of melons and peaches, the photographer took pictures
of the whole group and allow me to add that the flowers and green shrubbery
made a very pleasing background.
The president, Mrs. R.J. Cook, then called a meeting to go over the
business on hand. An account of the preceding meeting was very ably
given by our grandmother, Mrs. H.N. Manchester. Also one or two letters
were read from relatives at a distance unable to attend. Let us all
hope that we may live as long and useful a life as our grandmother and
yet be able to take our part in our latter days.
Music from piano, violin and victrola was interspersed through meeting,
also recitation and songs.
The officers for the following (year) were elected as follows:
Mrs. Mary Hunt, president
Mrs. Edgar Chaffee, vice-president
Mrs. Dana Sink, secretary-treasurer
Mrs. Lilburn Barnes was chosen to be at head of refreshment committee
of four.
It was decided to have the regulation picnic dinner with everyone furnishing
instead of a basket picnic for 1923.
Mrs. William Schrier, Mrs. Earl Wilson, Mrs. Ernest Manchester,
one other were appointed for entertainment committee.
A collection was taken amounting to $26 to help settle expenses.
$30 amount set to cover expenses.
$4 amount necessary to be drawn from treasury.
$5.55 amount in treasury previous to 1922.
$1.55 amount left in treasury for year 1923.
Marriages:
Avery C. Manchester to Winifred J. Williams, August 30, 1922.
Rhoda Marcella Chaffee to Samuel Bauchman, July 20, 1923
Births:
To Mr. and Mrs. Ben Hunt a son, Gilbert DeForrest, April 17,
1923
To Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cook a son, Ralph Marshall, October 1922
To Mr. and Mrs. Claude Ford a daughter, Cleone Winifred, February
4, 1923
To Mr. and Mrs. Albert Dewing a son, Paul Albert, June 29, 1923
To Mr. and Mrs. Leland Howe a daughter, Mavis Edwina, May 22,
1923
To Mr. and Mrs. C.P. Austin a son, Charles Peter, October 11,
1922
To Mr. and Mrs. Sterling Manchester a daughter, Harriet Jane,
July 22, 1923
After singing several old favorite hymns and partaking of ice
cream the boys all hustled to the I.R. Ball Grounds for a game. It
was getting so late the game was postponed until1923. our ball games
as a rule prove exciting as nearly all the boys connected with the Manchester
family are well versed in “baseballistic” art.
Mrs. Mary Hunt joined with other Binghamton relatives in inviting
everyone to Ideal Park for the following year. It was put to vote
and carried that we meet there. As the shadows were lengthening everyone
left thanking Mr. and Mrs. Schrier for their kind hospitality and a jolly
good time.
Mrs. Dana T. Sink, secretary
