The Georgia Enterprise November 15, 1888
     Perhaps the largest family reunion ever held in Georgia came off at the 
hospitable residence of Elder William Adams, on Thursday last, 8th inst. This 
was the celebration of the 93rd birthday of Mrs. Elizabeth Hurst, mother of 
Mrs. Wm. Adams. About 200 blood relations of this faithful old Mother in Israel 
honored the occasion with their presence. There was a feast spread at noon and 
all enjoyed the magnificent dinner. After dinner Mr. Perkins, of Covington, 
took a photograph of the immediate family of Mrs. Hurst, numbering about 100 
persons. A picture was also taken of Mrs. Adams ten handsome healthy, hearty 
sons. At the close of the day’s festivities Elder David Hitchcock invoked the 
blessings of the Lord upon the entire household of faithful Mother Hurst and 
preached a pointed sermon, which was followed by an impressive religious 
discourse from Elder M. F. Hurst. This pleasant occasion, with all its 
delightful features will live in memory and grow brighter as each year departs 
down the rugged isle of Time.
