Clipping From Unnamed, Undated Newspaper 1930
     One of the "Home comings" during the summer months, of interest to their 
many friends, was that of the children and grand-children of Mr. and Mrs. John 
T. Means of Redbone District in Lamar County.
     The old home-stead for two weeks was the scene of a happy reunion, having 
gathered around it almost continuously, nearly all of the thirty nine children 
and grand-children who claim this old pioneer residence as "Home."
     Mr. and Mrs. Means are the parents of eleven children, all of whom are 
living and enjoying health.  This fact within itself is of interest, for it is 
unusual indeed for a family so large to enjoy such a blessing.  The children 
are as follows:  Mrs. E. J. Keadle of Griffin, Misses Hermie and Kola [sic; 
should be Cola] Means and R. Berner Means, Hillyer and William T. Means of New 
York City, who are connected with the Western Electric Co., Mrs. Thomas Futch 
of Rochelle, Paul Means of Ben Hill, Georgia, Mrs. Homer Sappington of 
Barnesville, Mrs. Herman Bankston, Atlanta, and Mrs. Charles Burch of 
Thomaston, who until her recent marriage, was demonstrator of Thomas County.
     The citizens generally of Lamar county congratulate Mr. Means and his 
family over their good fortune.

Additional Comments:
Other items on the page with this clipping contain the months of August and 
early September 1930 so most likely this article was published in late summer 
1930.
