ROMIG REUNION
Rolling Green Park Scene of a Large Family Gathering

  The Romig reunion was held at Rolling Green park, August 22.  It is 
conceded to be one of the largest reunions in the state, numbering in 
membership, five hundred, and thirty new members joined this year, 
which swells the number to five hundred thirty.
  It was an ideal day.  The picnickers went early in autos as though 
they were headed for the Lewisburg fair, and every person enjoyed the 
day shaking hands and getting acquainted.  The Romig clan can be found 
in almost every county in the state.  However the attendance this year 
could not be expected to come up to that of former years, on account of 
war conditions.  A number of the young men of the family have gone 
across, while others are in training camps here.  Then too, the 
scarcity of labor, and the high transportation rates help to account 
for the difference in attendance.
  The old officers were all re-elected to their respective positions.  
It was decided to hold the next reunion at Rolling Green park, August 
23, 1919, unless circumstances should make it necessary to change the 
date.
