Reunion picture attached. Also attached are two sections of the picture with the people numbered. Picture is from the collection of Esther Sawdey Lennertz and Harriet Sawdey.... Below are the people I have been able to identify. I also see some of the same people in the reunion picture you have on the web site. Laura Lucinda Walling Hartley died in 1917. If her identification is correct, the picture was taken before 1917.

Scott says this picture is from the 1910 Walling-Elliott Reunion. "If a Walling-Elliott Reunion was held every year, the first one was held in 1910." Karen Michaelis: "I too, have this picture....in fact I have two of them, with slight variations. My Dad" - Delbert Kress - "as a little boy is in one and not the other. The one you have posted does not have my Dad in it. The picture that I have states that this was the First Walling-Elliott Reunion and was taken at Harry Kress' Farm located on Raymond Mills Rd. in the North East Farm Country. It was once owned by a Walling. The farm is still there. Last month my husband and I were in North East and we drove by to see it. It's in good shape, barn and everything. In recent years it has been remodeled on the outside. It is not in the family anymore.... My records indicate that the 13th Walling-Elliott Reunion was held August 17, 1922. That makes the First Walling-Elliott Reunion in 1910. This is assuming that there was a reunion held every year."

1. Karen Michaelis: "James Harry Kress, my grandfather." Scott Coyle has the name as Harry James Kress.
