The descendants of Mr. Alson Kearns spread a dinner Sunday in celebration of his birthday, at the hold home on the Uwharrie River. Eight children, 31 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren make up the descendants.
These, with the “in-laws” and a few invited guests made a happy company of about 75. Lexington, Asheboro, Siler City, and other distant points sent representatives. Only two grandchildren were absent.
After a few remarks by the pastor of the Asheboro M.E. Church the company partook of a sumptuous dinner on the lawn.
This was Mr. Kearns’ 80th birthday. W.P. Wood, a relative, who is just one day younger, was present.
Lee M. Kearns, our Register of Deeds, is a son, and Mrs. J. Watt Birkhead, a daughter of Mr. Kearns.
