/ r PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1965 Grays and descendents for 11 states gather for reunion and dedication In the beautiful oak grove of the cemetery the descendents of Frederick Gray, pioneer settler *nd one of the first in Newberry County, held their family reunion .and dedicated the marker placed there in his honor. Many Grays and Gray de.scend- ects from eleven* «t«tes, including Slumberous ones from South Caro lina met to renew old acquaint ances and form new ones. Prior to the dinner and program on Sun day, all out of town Grays were entertained on Saturday evening at the home cf Miss Bertha Gray Galln tan. At beautifully laid tables throughout the home, families, many of them meeting for the first time, visited informally while enjoying a delicious dinner prepar ed by the Newberry Grays and Miss Gallman. The home wajs de corated with arrangements of roses in shades of pink and red. The children were all taken to Tanglewood, the Lake Murray home of the Ralph Bakers, where they enjoyed swimming, boating nnd water skiing. Later they were served a cook-out supper by the Bakers. At eleven o’clock on Sunday morning everyone met at the ce metery for an hour of fellowship and then to enjoy the bounteous dinner prepared by the South Carolina members of the family. The local Grays were surprised and gratified at the number who came from such great distances. Miss Bertha is the only remain ing member of her immediate fam ily. She has three first cousins living: Miss Crozier Welch who is ninety years of age and lives at the Lowman Home; Mrs. Richard Neel, Sr., of Silverstreet, and Fred Gallman, who although eigh ty years of age and on crotches due to a broken leg was able to attend. Everyone had looked forward to greeting Mrs. Lois Scheck Pitts, another Gray descendent, but she was unable to be present. She has just celebrated her eighty- second birthday. Miss Gallman stated that it would be impossible to thank through this media all who serv ed at their appointed post of duty, but it was fortunate that G. L. Summer Jr., a local descendtnt, could furnish a piano for the oc casion which added much to the enjoyment of the program. After the dinner, .served in the grove of the cemetery, an im pressive dedication was held. Dr. James C. Kinard being the Speak er. In his remarks h^ iRbressed the religious background tl^e pio neer Grays, quoting gbyarsl pas sages from the Will of George Gray, Sr., in which he showed his firm belief in God and immortal ity. Dr. Kinard reminded those present that had Frederick Gray chosen to remain in Germany he possibly would have succeeded his cousin Frederick The Great to the throne of Prussia, since the king had no children. However, he chose, after his wife died, to bring his two children, George, Sr. and Susannah to the new land of Am erica. MRS. TURNER RECUPERAT ING Mrs. W. E.

Findley, Loan Guaranty Officer of the Veterans Adminis tration Regional office warned today. Release of the veteran from lia bility to the Government does nor affect the VA’s guarantee on the loan, Findley said. As long as the guaranty to the lender is out standing, no restoration of GI loan rights can be granted the veteran. However, even if the loan is paid in full thus relieving the VA of liability to the lender, a vet eran’s entitlement to another GI loan may be restored only when the property: a. was taken by a government agency for public use. b. was destroyed by natural hazard, or c. was disposed of for compelling reasons, such as health, employ ment transfer, change to a better job in another city, or other rea sons considered sufficient by the Veterans Administration. In such cases, veterans may ap ply to the VA office which pro cessed their loan for restoration of entitlement. of St. Luke’s Lutheran church, Columbia, served as devotion leader.
