OLD SETTLERS ARE
PREPARING FOR AN
NUAL REUNION
Event Will Be Held This Year on Fri
day and Saturday, August 8th
and 9th at Union.
The annual event that has since
1888 been one of the features of
each season at the pleasant little
city of Union will again be offered to
the people of Cass county, and the
dates set this rear will be Friday
and Saturday, August 8th and 9th,
according to the advance plans of
the old settler's association.
The meeting was held a few days
ago to set the days for the gathering
and it was voted to have it in the
earlier part of August and as the
president of the association Hon. W.
B. Banning was named and LeRoy
Upton as the secretary and with
these two ii barge of the handling
of the business affairs another very
success ;u; year will doubtless be
recor 'ed.
Some of the oldest settlers in the
county have made their homes in
and near Union and it is fitting that
this observance to be held in the
heart of Liberty precinct where
settled some of the first pioneers and
who kept alive the spirit of interest
in the early settlement of the county.
There are very few of the pioneers
left here in Cass county and they
should be given all honor on the
occasion of the reunion as the old
settlers now are largely those who
were born here as children of the
j state3 , hirtv and thirtv-five years ago
pioneers or came from adjoining
i and those who crossed the plains in
the covered wagons of the late for-
fifties are very few
their experiences and the incidents
of historical value that marked the
early settlement of the state.
