Family Reunion.

One of the happiest groups assembled in Storm Lake, Christmas Day, was one of thirty-six persons, who met in a family reunion at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Cole, whose children and grandchildren, the first time in many years, were all assembled to meet and greet each other in mutual love. An enjoyable Christmas banquet was served, and from a family Christmas tree beautiful gifts were distributed to all.

The happy group comprised Mr and Mrs. Thos. Cole, Miss Mary A. Cole, and the families of G. W. Cole, A. T. Cole, E. J. Cole, E. P. Cole, of Manhattan, illinois, S. L. Cole of Grant township, A. F. Morse, of Newell, and Paul Soeth, of Marathon.

Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Cole and their children were photographed en group, that through the coming years will be pleasant mementos of the happy meeting.
