Relatives from

reunion. The reunion has been at Mrs. Annie Whites the two previous years,
but due to ill health of Mrs. White, it was held at her son's, Mack White.
Everyone brought well filled baskets and dinner was spread beneath the shade
trees.

this reunion are: Mrs. Lelia Dunihoo and children, Debs, James and Jack; Mr.
and Mrs. Howard Dunihoo; Mr. and Mrs. James Creig and son, Fred; Mr. and
Mrs. Crockett Webb and daughter; J. D. Creig; Mr. Short and Mrs McKenzie all

Burns, Mr. and Mrs. Junius Burns and daughter Oleta; Mrs and Mrs. Orville
Phillips all of Wylie.
The elderly
people enjoyed a long chat of olden times. Junius Rholton had recently
visited the old home state of the elderly relatives, so of course he had
news for them all.
A water melon
feast was held in the afternoon. Kodaks were in use by several people who
wished to have pictures of the great grandmothers and great grandchildren.
In the late part
of the afternoon everyone left for their homes in a happy spirit promising
to return next year. Wylie Herald.
