1936 - The Sixth Reunion of The Newton Family

The sixth Newton reunion was held on June 27th at Nellie Newton Roof's.
  For a time we thought it would be a rainy day and few would come; but it cleared off some and the attendance was not extremely diminished.
On account of the damp cool weather food was served in the cabin behind the house.
In a atmosphere of fun & frolic everyone partook of the scrumptious meal, a few overestimating their capacity and causing rather unpleasant feelings in the regions of their stomachs.
