Jackson Argus – Butts County January 7, 1898
Last Tuesday the children and grand children of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Thomas met 
at the old homestead to spend a happy day together.

Perhaps there is not another couple in Georgia who can produce such a record as 
this happy, loving pair, fourteen bright healthy children, fifteen grand 
children and all living.

At an early hour we were all seated around a bright, cozy fire in the large, 
comfortable sitting room to discuss pleasant topics and listen to bright 
repartee.

Soon dinner was announced and such a dinner!  The ample table almost groaned 
under its weight of turkey, pies, cakes, fruits and everything necessary to 
make a Southern Christmas Dinner.

O, what a happy scene!  Father, with his silvery locks and bright face, seated 
at the head of the table, and mother, with her happy, beaming countenance 
seated near him, surrounded by their loving children.

Indeed this time honored couple had caused to make this day one of thanksgiving.

After dinner we repaired to the parlor to listen to sweet music and dream of 
this happy reunion and pray that the Almighty Father might spare us to meet 
again.

The day passed away all too soon; good byes were said and we each sought our 
respective homes to take up the thread of life where we left off and wished for 
this noble couple a great many more happy reunions with their children and 
grand children

One Present
