Lineville Headlight August 14, 1930
On August 5th, last week a reunion was held at the home of Mr. J. W. Moncus of 
this place in memory of his mother, who had she lived, would have been 69 years 
of age. She slipped away in Sept. 1924. There were 8 children of the family 
present, four boys and four girls with their husbands, wives and children. Mr. 
and Mrs. A. M. Moncus of Anniston, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Moncus, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. 
Moncus and Mr. and Mrs. Chas Moncus, Mr. and Mrs. Grady Griffin, all of 
Lineville, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Burgess of Wadley, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Johnson of 
Cedar Bluff, and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Moncus of Ofelia, Mrs. T. J. Wilson and 
daughter, Lois, Mrs. L. J. S. Willingham of Lineville and Mrs. Kellum of 
Sikesville, were the visitors present. With great grandchildren, there were 51 
present A long table was spread out in the yard under the beautiful shade trees 
from which a bounteous dinner was served and enjoyed by everyone present. In the 
afternoon an old-time watermelon cutting just filled in with the day of 
hospitality and genuine fellowship. Those present so thoroughly enjoyed the 
coming together that they voted to make it an annual affair, hoping that at the 
next gathering two children absent this time would be among them. One of the 
sweetest and most touching events of the day was the visit to their mother's 
resting place and the placing of fresh fragrant flower on the sod which holds 
her tender remains.
