Ransom Daniels, patriarch of the Daniels family, moved from Nowata,
Oklahoma, in 1914 and settled in Lake Oswego. There he worked at a livery
stable in downtown P ortland-w ork that was typically denied to Blacks.
He later worked with the Columbia Steel and Casting Co., where he retired
after 40 years. Ransom met and married Minnie Johnson, daughter of
Thomas Johnson, uniting the two families.
The reunion began Friday evening, with a tour of Portland and a scenic
drive through the Columbia Gorge. Family members reunited on Saturday
at a picnic held in Portland's Laurelhurst Park, where 200, ranging in age
from 6 weeks to 90 years, met for food and fellowship. Later that evening,
five generations of both Daniels and Johnsons shared entertainment and
memories at the Viscount Hotel. The day closed with family portraits and
a party for the young people.
Sunday morning, family members met at Greater Mt. Calvary Church
of God in Christ where Bishop H.B. Daniels pastors. His youngest brother,
Rev. R.A. Daniels from Lamesa, Texas, was the featured speaker.
The oldest member of the Johnson family, Effie Johnson-Lee, and the
oldest member of the Daniels family, Clifford Daniels, were honored at a
brunch Sunday morning. The youngest member of either clan was the
6-week-old son of Sherrill and Clifford Daniels, Jr. Together, the young
and old shared their experiences, memories and a commitment to hold the
family together.
The Johnson and Daniels families thanked God for the rare opportunity
to reflect on their past and remember their rich heritage, to rekindle old
friendships and begin new ones.
