Family meets in summertime reunion Every third Sunday in July since 1960, the families of the pioneer McDaniel brothers have held a picnic reunion in this county. From 1960 to 1969 the gatherings were in Heppner's Courthouse Park, since 1969 the annual reunions have been at Anson Wright Park, much closer to the homeplace of the family. Between 50 and 125 persons usually attend and the day's program is much visiting and much feasting. On July 15, 1979 there was not as large a group as there has been in past years. However McDan iel family members from California, Wyoming, Wash ington and Oregon met with one another and got to know new babies and newlywed members of the clan. The original McDaniel brothers, Sam, Ed and Bill traveled from Indiana to Spokane, Washington. Sam and Bill brought their wives and children with them. After a time in Spokane, they moved to Burton Valley south of Hardman in 1894 where the men worked in the timber and in the sawmill. Bill married a western woman. Sam was a sawyer and some of the lumber he sawed was used to build the Hardman buildings, including its early community church. McDaniel children attended the Burton Valley School where Marguerite Glavey was the last teacher. Some went on to the high school in Hardman which began about 1915 and closed before 1930. Many McDaniel descendents still live in Morrow County. July 31 will also mark the last day of the story hour at the lone City Library. The AAUW welcomes parents to come with their children to the program at 3 p.m. following the awards program. Most popular among the youngest readers, Mrs. Carl son said, were the tree trunk books. The older children list Charlie Brown and the Pea nuts books as another favor ite.

The program is designed to interest more children in reading. Each child has been allowed to take up to three books each week. The books are due on the following day of check-out.
