Made available to The USGenWeb Archives by: Richard Lundeen Newspaper Clipping (Date and source unknown, but apparently from Todd County, Minnesota, possibly Long Prairie or Little Sauk, or from Sauk Centre in Stearns County) Lundeen, Anderson and Tengvol Annual Reunion Held at Diamond Point On Sunday, June 27th, the Lundeen, Anderson and Tengval family tree gathered for a picnic at Diamond Point. By noon families had arrived from many Minnesota communities including, Benson, Swift Falls, Elk river, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Willmar, Montevideo, Brooten, DeGraf, Bertha, Eagle Bend, Brainerd, Parkers Prairie, Osakis, Long Prairie, Sauk Centre, as well as Sheboygan, Wis., and Hannaford, N. D., ranging in age from the oldest of 83 years to youngest less than a year. All came with well-filled baskets so the smorgasbord table fairly groaned with food. Mrs. Brasset of Minneapolis, cooked the coffee -- with names like Nelson, Larson, Olson -- needless to say how many cups were consumed. The afternoon was spent in reminiscing as on this point of Sauk Lake many had played when children. It was always a favorite fishing spot when vacations rolled around. One memory still lingers with Mrs. Barringer and Mrs. Davies (Ann and Hulda Anderson) when their father had a boat at Sauk Centre park, long before the days of high-powered boat motors or rubber-tiered trailers and wanted it "on the point". The three packed a lunch and their father rowed the boat with oars the eight miles distance. Swan Lundeen of Canada, the one furtherest away could not be present this year but plans are already being made for another one, and the over one hundred present this year bringing more of the relatives. When good-byes were said all agreed with Nels Olson of Hannaford, N. D., the oldest, he wouldn't have missed if for one hundred dollars. (Transcribed by Richard Lundeen, September 20, 1999)
