The eighteenth annual picnic, and
reunion of the Van P a t t e n family,
descendants of Ryer and Mary Spencer

Aug. 25th at the home of William Van

family of nine children two survive,
Mrs. Seth Hobart of Preble, who attended
the reunion and James Van Patten,
who resides in St. Charles. 111., whose
letter of regret at not being able to
be present, was read.
Nearly 100 relatives were seated at
the tables which were ladened with all
sorts of good things, at the noon hour,
and everyone did ample justice to the
repast. The variety of edibles was
satisfactory proof that many of their
number excelled in the culinary art.
After the serving of the menu, the
present officers were without exception
re-elected and are as follows: President?
Andrew Van Patten of Preble.
Vice President? Mrs. B. A. Gay of
Chittenango. Secretary and Treasurer
? L. P. Norton of Homer. Historian?
Dr. H. D. Hunt of Preble. Relatives
were present from Syracuse, Euclid,
Tully, Preble and Homer, who derived
much pleasure from meeting each other
face to face and becoming better acquainted
or renewing old acquaintance.
The gathering this year was one of the
largest ever held and came fully up to
the standard of excellence already attained,
and proved most enjoyable in
every respect.
The annual picnic and reunion will
be held with Dr. H. D. Hunt and Mrs.
Seth Hobart in Preble the last Thurs-
day in August, 1910.
