JOHN LEE and wife and all their children and grandchildren, except two from Blythedale, RICHARD and wife and ARLYNE TURNER. MR. W.W. PEASLEY and wife and five daughters, MR. W.E. LEE and wife and one daughter, MR. H.E. PERKINS and wife, all met Christmas Eve at the pleasant home of their daughter, MR. and MRS. C.F. SMITH, at Lamoni. A Christmas tree heavily loaded with presents for all there, and a bounteous dinner the next day, made the occasion one to be long remembered.
