LEXINGTON
By BECLAH B. NICHOLS.
In spite of the chilly weather the
usual large crowd gathered at Lex
ington Saturday for the sixth an
nual reunion of Morrow county pio
neers. People from all parts of the
county were in attendance as well
as many who formerly resided here
but are now located elsewhere.
Many old timers who moved away
years ago returned for this event
and enjoye'd greeting their former
friends and neighbors. The attend
ance was estimated at about five
hundred.
The bounteous dinner at noon
was thoroughly enjoyed by every
one. Fifty-six people, most of
whom were past sixty years of age,
were seated at the honor table.
The hall was filled to capacity
for the program in the afternoon.
Mrs. Karl Miller delivered the ad
dress of welcome and the audience
sang "The Battle Hymn of the Re
public" and "The Star Spangled
Banner." Billy Wells of Pendleton,
accompanied by Marjorie Parker
at the piano, favored the audience
with a violin solo. The next num
ber was a vocal solo by Gladys Fish
er of Tacoma. The ladies quartet,
composed of Mrs. Trina Parker,
Mrs. Frank Turner, Miss Dona Bar
nett and Mrs S. G. McMillan, sang
two numbers, with Miss Eula Mc
Millan as accompanist. Billy Wells
played two more numbers on the
violin, "Beautiful Ohio" and "Caro
lina Moon." All the lights in the
hall were then turned out with the
exception of a dim light on the
stage and Harvey Miller dressed as
an old man came slowly onto the
stage, singing "Love's Old Sweet
Song." When the song was ended
the back curtains were drawn, re
vealing Mrs. Trina Parker, appro
priately costumed, seated in a rock
er with her knitting. The two then
sang "Silver Threads Among the
Gold" and "When You and I Were
Young, Maggie," with Miss Dona
Barnett at the piano. Judge Sweek
of Pendleton addressed the assem
bly after which the audience sang
a number of old time songs. The
concluding number on the program
was a mock wedding which created
much merriment Mrs. George
Broadley made a charming bride
with her long veU and lovely bou
quet Mrs. Karl Miller was the
bridegroom and Mrs. Harry Dinges
the minister. Bridesmaids were
Mrs. Caroline Kuns and Mrs. Ola
Ward, and Mrs. Elmer Hunt acted
as flower girl. Mrs. Eva Lane, as
mother of the bride, was very agi
tated when the ceremony was in
terrupted by the rejected suitor,
which role was portrayed by Mrs.
Laura Scott
After the program there was a
good social and get-together time
until time for the evening meal. In
mediately after supper ex-Governor
