An Unusual Event

 

            A reunion of all the nine children of the deceased Ira Gibbon’s family will take place this Thursday.  The event will be celebrated with a picnic dinner at the Allen Gibbons’ farm one mile west of Sheridan and a picnic supper at the Warren Gibbons’ farm near the city.  There will be twenty guests in all, including the wives and grandchildren.

            This is a rather unusual event, in that the nine children have not all been together for twenty-three yers.

            Among those who are here for the occasion are, Wm. A. Gibbons, Fond du Lac; Mrs. Carrie Ross and Warren Gibbons, Waupaca; Mrs. Hattie Taylor, Biwabik, Minn.; Mrs. Addie Beltz, St. Paul, Minn.; Mrs. Minnie Klugberg, Albert Lea, Minn.; Mrs. Lillian Crostue, Detroit, Mich.; Mrs. Oscar Larson and Allen Gibbons of Sheridan.
