Glenwood Opinion Tribune
September 6, 1928

The first reunion of the Scott and Newton families was held at the Glenwood Park Sunday. There were a goodly number present many coming from some distance and it was an enjoyable day for all present. A sumptuous dinner was enjoyed at the noon hour and as one who was present told us, they have five bushels of fried chicken and it all vanished and along with it went the other choice articles which go to make such a picnic feast complete. This was the first reunion of these families and while they did not prefect a permanent organization or elect officers yet they decided to try and make such an assemblage an annual affair and the reunion next year will probably be held in Macedonia.
