REUNION OF FREDERICK
FAMILY LAST SATURDAY
The fourteenth family reunion of the Peter M. Frederick family was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Smith, at Meadowdale, on Saturday, June 24th. It was an all-day occasion, and the beautiful day was entirely too short for the day of pleasure.
The old family tree of Peter M. Frederick, who if living would be 104 years of age, is still spreading its fruitful branches farther and farther. Two births have occurred during the past year, and one wedding within the family. And the family has reached its 100 mark, the total membership to date being 101.
Of the nine children of Peter M. Frederick, five have been spared to enjoy another reunion. Of the 101 living descendants there were 58 present, with 14 visitors making a total of 72 in all.
