Rowan County News of Thursday, Sept. 26, 1929 contains this article:
“A family reunion at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Jones in honor of her mother, Mrs. Isabelle Stidham, being four generations at the gathering.” [I didn’t leave the verb out of that sentence; the newspaper did.]

Cochran and son, Carl, from Portsmouth, Ohio, Mr. and Mrs. Pat Johnson and two daughters, Louise and Elizabeth of Ashland, Mr. and Mrs. Mordia Maddox, Mr. Victor Mynhier and Mr. Orlando Faulkner of Miamisburg, Ohio, Mr. Homer Mynhier and daughter, Gladys, and Mrs. Glen Mynhier of Middletown, Ohio, Mr. J.
