A FAMILY GATHERING

	A very pleasant family gathering occurred on Terre Coupe prairie, six miles
from Buchanan, last Sunday, July 16,1893, it being the first reunion of the
Stryker family.
	In the fall of 1864, Mr. C.G. Stryker, wife and five children came from New
York and settled on the present homestead. Later the family increased to seven
children.  They are now all married but one, and together with the sons and
daughters-in-law and grand children, the family numbers twenty-four.  Mr. C.G.
Stryker died in June 1890, that being the only death in the family.  The widow
resides with the youngest son.
	The oldest child, Frank A., wife and two children reside in Buchanan, Mich.;
Mrs. F.L. Spencer, husband and three children live near Lawrence, Mich.; Mrs.
Geo. Faurote, husband and three children reside in Niles, Mich.; Don. J., lives
in Lowell, Mass.; Wilford and wife are located on the old homestead; Mrs. E.R.
Lake, husband and son live at Pullman, Washington; Hugh L. the youngest child,
with his wife and one child reside in South Bend, Ind.
	It is not often that so large a family, residing in so widely different
sections, succeed in having all their members present on any particular occasion.
