p . of the direct descendants of "Aunt
< ~^~^SaIlie" Shealy "was held at the old
v. Home in the nne .ttiuse seuuuu ui
the Dutch Fork on last Wednesday.
V It was the largest attended and
doubtless the most enjoyed of any of
"the previous reunions. There were
more than 250 relatives present, the
occasion serving as a home-coming to
mhny of the relatives. As naturally
might be expected where there are
&0 many children, grandchildren,
?||&r great- grand children and great great>?4>
grandchildren, representing in all
five generations, the family has be^.
dome somewhat separated by dis
lance; and, while it was not so stat
ed,' it was no doubt the first Time
