BRUCE, S'crct.irr, Treasurer and Manager, A Family Reunion. Mr. Editor: The mont enjoyable day of the season was that of a birthday din ner and family reunion at the beautiful homo of our venerable friend and neigh bor, Mr. X. A. J. Greer. who lives two miles west of Honea Path. Fourteen years ago, Mr. Greer gave a dinner to his children. This time, he and his good lady not being physically able to make such extensive preparations, thoir children and grandchildren took it upon themselves to furnish it. At an early hour on the day mentioned the children with their families, together with the invited guests, began to pour in. Every one, old and young, Beemed to realize that it was a day set apart for real family enjoyr^c^, -dd all were deter mined to make it a success. At 11:30 a. m. the line was formed to march to the stand?about one hundred yards from the house, in a beautiful grove?where a speaker's stand and seats had been provided for the occasion. Rev. M. McGee, present by special in vitation, took the stand, and, after some appropriate remarks, read the 27th Psalm, Then, by request of Mr. Greer, "Pass me not, O Gentle Saviour," was sung, it be ing his favorite hymn. The meeting then took a recesR for din ner, which was spread on a table of per haps forty feet in length, near the stand. It was a grand sight to see the aged pa rents, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren?fifty-seven in number together with half as many more rela tives and friends, surround the table Oh, it was a day of feasting and of joy and happiness! Everything that heart could wish to satisfy the inner man was be fore us. Every one seemed to realize tha; it was a double occasion (birthday and reunion\ and we made double use of time. Aftu dinner it was decided that not more than half of the good things pro vided had been eaten. After Half honr's rest and social chat, we re-assembled at the stand, where the writer was asked to give a brief history of the Greer family, previously prepared, as f dIIowh: David Greer, father of N. A. J. Greer, was born in Ireland, and died in Honea Path in 1S55, aged 105 years. His wife was Polly Simms, daughter of Thomas Simms, of Abbeville County. Martha Greer, wife of N. A. J. Greer, was the daughter of Laban Massey. Her mother was Esther Dowdle, daughter of John Dowdle, who lived four miles southeast of Anderson, C. H. N. A. J. Greer was born the 25th day of August, 1819, and his now 78 years old. He married Martha Massey in 1840. She is two months his junior. They have lived in this com munity all their lives, except six years spent in Pickens County. They have had born to them thirteen children?five sons and eight daughters?five of whom are dead; forty-one grandchildren, four of whom are dead; twenty-two great-grand children, with eix dead. Counting sons in-law and daughters-in-law and hue ban ds and wives of married grandchil dren, we have a grand total of eighty-six souis. In 1857 he joined the Barker's Creek Baptist Church. His wife joined the same Church twenty years earlier. They hav a lived consistent Christian lives, and bava set an example before their posteri ty that is worthy of imitation. Hymp., "Nearer, my God, to Thee," was sung, by request of Mrs. Greer, who sayti that is her constant prayer, as she grows older, that she may pet nearer and nearer to her Lord and Master. Ai'ter a fervent prayer by Rev. B. P. Mitchell, we repaired to the house, where we found an artist, who arranged all to his liking, and took the group, the house being the background. Thus the 25th day of August, 1897, was passed?a day long to be rememtered by those present. The aged couple are reasonably stout and active, able to attend to their domes tic duties, and bid fair to see the return of many more birthday occasions. A. R. Cox. A Card of Thanks. Mb. Editor: We wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our friends and neighbors for their kindness and help to us in our sad bereavement during the illness and death of our prenions little ones, Jessie loia and Nimrod Tillman.
