Townsend---One of the grandest reunions which have been held for years

occurred at the home of John and Peggy Myers at Tang, Tennessee on Monday,

December 28, 1903, at which forty-six children and grandchildren were present,

beside eight visitors. Jim Myers, a son, and his family, from Sumas,

Washington were present, also W.B. Myers and family from Knox County. In fact

it was one of the most remarkable reunions which have ever been held in this

locality. Never again will those who were present have the opportunity of

being together again, or at least on this earth. Friday, April 8, 1904



Rev. Claudaus B. Lord was 88 years old Wednesday. He still enjoys good health

and spends a great deal of his time reading. He was actively engaged in the

ministry from the time he was 22 years old until a few years ago.



James Lowery Caldwell, son of William L. and Mary Caldwell, died April 2,

after a lingering illness of heart disease. His family removed to Texas to

this county when he was four years old. He grew up and attended Maryville

College two or three years. Here he made a profession of his faith in Christ

and united with New Providence Church. He married Miss. Nannie George about

four years ago at Coal Creek, Tennessee. They settled on a farm near here two

years ago for the benefit of his health. He met death beautifully and with

Christian faith. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Dr. McCulloch in

New Providence Church and he was laid to rest in Magnolia Cemetery.



Bank---Mrs. William Suttles died Friday after a lingering illness and was

buried at Salem.
