>Unknown Newspaper article dated July 26, 1890 > >A pretty sight was presented at the residence of O.W. Trumbo, in Dayton >Township, last Thursday. The beautiful grounds which overlook the town were >the scene of a novel and pleasing affair. Clare Van Ettan, 15 months old son >of Mr. and Mrs. Will Van Ettan, was master of the occasion, and with the aid >of seventeen of his baby friends managed to make the woods echo and re-echo >with their joyous shouts of glee. All the little ones were about the same >age, none being older than nineteen months, and with one or two exceptions, >all were cousins. The picnic dinner was served in the upper yard and each >baby, accompanied by its mother, took a seat on the lawn and, it is needless >to say, the sight was indeed laughable and pleasant. There were also >present about twenty older children, Friends of Baby Clare. The Ladies >present, whose babies were honored guests, were: Mrs. M. Peddicord, Mrs. >Will Newell, Mrs. N. M. Green, Mrs. T. E. MacKinlay, Mrs. J. G. Gary, Mrs. >John Parr, Mrs. Charles Shaver, Mrs. Ed Vernon, Mrs. W. N. Bagley, Mrs. H. >B. Williams, Mrs. Frank Shaver, Mrs. Frank Trumbo, Mrs. Will Van Ettan, Mrs. >John Gibson (Denver, Co.), Mrs. Wm. Martell (Syracuse, N.Y.), Mrs. T. H. >Green (Morris, Ill). The same babies held a party one year ago and it is the >intention of the parents to have them assemble annually whenever possible. > >For more information or questions, please contact: sue@kaiconsulting.com
