Ra I Huse I Lot Given Away INCREASED The Membership Roil Of Summit - Portage County Pioneers. Large Crowd Present at Annua! Picnic. Will be Elected October. Next Addresses Made by Prominent Speakers Features. , One of the most enjoyable events at Silver Lake park this season was the twenty-fifth annual picnic and reunion of the pioneers of Portage and Summit counties held Thurs day. About 300 members of the associa tion were present, while the general attendance was estimated at 800. Music was furnished by the K. O. T. M. baud, and the pioneers and their friends found pleasure in living again the days of their youth in the discussion of reminiscences relative to incidents connected with the opening up of the grand old Western Reserve and the founding of settle ments. C. C. Cackler of Kent, president of the association, was master of cere monies. The program of the day began with a business meeting at 10:30, when the following board of trustees was elected, Portage and Summit coun ties each being represented with six officers: Summit county Horton Williams Akron; Rev. F. M. Green, Stow; Judge U. L. Marvin, Akron; H. B. Graham, Cuyahoga Falls; Dr. W. S. Hough, Cuyahoga Falls; Henry Pardee, Ghent. Portage county E. A. Parsons, Kent; Daniel Boguc, Ravenna; C. C. Cackler, Kent; S. W. Burt, Kent; Rev. Andrew Wilson, Ravenna; H. A. Swan, Kent. The board, whose members! were nearly all re-elected, will meet in October and elect a president. The committee on nominations was composed of C. C. Cackler, Kent; Henry Graham, Stowe, and S. M. Burnhain, Akron. Last year's reunion was Held at Randolph park. It was decided at tho business meeting to hold the next four annual reunions at Silver Lake park. The first Thursday in August was set aB the time for holding the reunions. A resolution was also passed admitting free to the associa tion all persons 50 years of age who would sign the constitution. The report of the secretary and treasurer, E. A. Parsons of Kent, showed the association to be in good financial standing. Twenty-six deaths occdrred among the member ship during the past year. Of the total membership of the association since its inception about three-fifths are dead. Following the business meeting dinner was served. It was eaten picnic fashion, and was a most sump tious repast. The enactment of the principal part of tho program of the day began at 1 o'clock p.m. and continued un til 4. Rev. Andrew Wilson of Ravenna delivered the memorial address, which is the principal event of the reunions. His address was a most able and enjoyable one, touching on the founding of the association, eulogies to members who have labored earnestly for the good of the Pioneers, and a graphic descrip tion of what has been done by the organization. Among other things he said that the average age of the association's members was 80 years. The first meeting of the pioneers was atStreetsboro, February 10, 1874. On the 20th of October, the same year a permanent organization was cfTected. Tho meeting to effect the organization was hold at Kont. Mr. Wilson also read tho names of all the early members of tho association. In the list the name "Dewey" was frequently mentioned. They were among the early pioneers, and it is said were ancestral relatives of tho great Admiral Dewey of present fame. The memorial address was receiv ed with .great applause. Following its deliverance, remarks were made by Itov. S. L. Coolie, of Medina; Judge J. A. Kohler, of Akron; Rev. Leonard Southmayd, of Akron; Samuel A. Lane, of Akron, and Dr. A. M. Sherman, of Kent. The program was interspersed with some excellent singing by tho choir from the Kent M. E. church, under the leadership of Dr. A. M. Sherman. Whilo Dr. Sherman sang a solo at .the first reunion of tho pioneers, 25 yenrs ago, and is one of the oldest members of the association, ho has not lost any of his musical ability and sang the same solo Thursday afiernoon that ho had sung 25 years ago. "Father" Henry Plum, aged S4 years, of Cuyahoga Falls, was the oldest pioneer present. He is in good health and heartily enjoyed tho reunion. The pioneers were active in their elTorts to secure new members Thursday. At the conclusion of the meeting the secretary had enrolled o.uite a list of new members.
