A Family Reunion August 17, 1905
An occasion which was as much enjoyed as any which has occured in our
town in some time was a family reunion at the home of Mrs. G. W. Perdue
last Tuesday. It was an accidental gathering and no special arrangements
had been made, but all the children were present except one, Mr. Ed S.
Perdue, of Chattanooga, Tenn.
It had been a long time since so near all the children had gathered
under one roof to look upon mother and to think of the noble example she
had always set before them. She is now growing old and nothing gives her
more pleasure than to look out into the world and see the family she has
reared and the stations they fill in life. Those present were: Hon. L.
A. Perdue, of Newnan, Col. J. H. Perdue, and Mr. Albert Perdue, of
Birmingham, Ala., Mrs. C. P. Sanders, of Roscoe, Mrs. W. F. Jones, of
Woolsey, Mrs. W. S. Bloodworth, of Thomaston, Mrs. B. P. Daniel and Miss
Lou Ella Perdue, of Senoia.
This reunion was indeed a happy one and The Gazette sincerely hopes that
mother and children may see many more such pleasant reunions.

I will take it as a favor if those of this community who may be in possession of

to my knowledge in time for publication. If a baby is born tell me about it. If
you have visitors from a distance, let me know it. If anything happens which
would interest and entertain you, should you read it as having eminated from
some other community then send it along, I will be glad to get it.
