Mrs. Lucy Alford had a reunion on September 15. She was 72 years old. She is the mother of 14 children and all were present. The oldest son, Mallie, is the father of 14 children and all were present.
Mrs. Alford has 102 grandchildren—15 dead and 87 living—and 82 were at the reunion. She has 16 great grandchildren living and 15 were present.
Some of her friends were present also to help enjoy the dinner. There was plenty to eat and much left.
Rev. S. J. Betts was present and asked the blessing and enjoyed the occasion.
May God bless the family and enable them all to meet next September 15, 1927, and enjoy the meeting even better than they did this one.
