Four Generations of One Branch of the family present - History Is Read.

Members of the Dickerson family, to the number of 90, yesterday enjoyed a reunion at the home of L. Dickerson about 4 miles east of Letts. The affair proved a very interesting one and was marked by the attendance of four generations of one branch of the family. There were Mr. and Mrs. D.H. Westbrook, Mr. and Mrs. L. Dickerson, Mr. and Mrs. A.L. Fisher and Little Lorraine Fisher. A history of the Dickersons was read and proved to be one of the most interesting features of the day. Letters were also read from a large number of those members of the family who were unable to be present. One of these was from Mrs. Nancy Dickerson Welch, a resident of Astoria, Ore., and one of the first white women to make her home there. Pictures were taken of the assembled relatives and of the four generations mentioned above. Dinner was served at noon, two long tables being spread under the trees in the yard and covers were laid for 90.
