   The Thirteenth reunion of the Newton family was held at the home of Russel Kellogg in Short Tract, N.Y. where Cedric and Nellie Roof were then living.
Tables were set up in two rooms of the house to make room for the gang (the children eating in the kitchen, with the exception of a few grown-ups).
It was again held at night
We all enjoyed a good supper, although the usual cakes and such luxuries were few.

After the meeting, some left overs of cool-aid and canned milk were auctioneered-off by Milton Roof. Russell Kellogg and his son, Roddy were highest bidders, so what they received cost them $.35 (Russell paying the bill).
Water-melon was cut and each received a generous helping before leaving for their respective homes.
A good time was had by all present. 
The next reunion is to be held the 1st Saturday in August, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Voss in short Tract, N.Y.
