There have been visiting within the past two weeks at the residence of Ross Tait, five sisters who have not been together before for 35 years. Their names were originally Shearer and they were all born in Beaver county, Pa. Their names are now Mrs. Martha Vanatta, Mrs. Isabelle Tait, and Mrs. Caroline Moyer, all of Newton; Mary Kerns, of Mahoning county, Ohio, and Mrs. Amanda Douglas of Scotland county, Mo. Mr. Tait had them sit together for a picture; which will be a pleasing memento of their meeting, and valuable as a keepsake.
