Hello Terry: I really enjoyed the article on the 5th Grade. I noticed the name of Samuel Amick. As this name appears on the newspaper article I am trying to locate about the Philomen Phillips family reunion. The story would have been in the first week of September 1914 in some newspaper. Could it have been the Banner? Any help you could lend me would be appreciated. SEE BELOW The following is an article that appeared in an Indiana newspaper around the time period of 1913-1917. We have not been able to locate the source of this article and sure would like to as it would be of a great help in our search for our family roots. As noted by the story about the Kish Army, my best guess would be the first week of September 1914, as "Sunday, August 30" would have been in 1914. "HEADLINE" PHILLIPS REUNION The Descendants of Philemon Phillips and Alexander Wilson Met Sunday The Phillips reunion was held at the home of Milton Phillips in Indianapolis Sunday, August 30th.

Under this stood a long table groaning with all the good things which were possible to cook and there was fried chicken and then more fried chicken which the hungry crowd did certainly enjoy. After eating of the good things to their hears content, Milt opened a big freezer of ice cream and it is needless to say what happened then. Those present were: S.M. Phillips of Victor, Colorado, Harry Phillips and wife, Charles Phillips, James Barnes, wife and daughter of Scott country, Alfred Stout of Dupont, Wood and Paul Phillips, and Julia Ogdon and children of Columbus, James and Clarence Phillips and their families of Brown township, Mellvile Phillips and wife, John Waters and wife, Ed Watts and wife of Pittsboro, Iva Bell and daughter, Samuel Amick and wife, of Brownsburg, F.B. Hopkins and family of Clayton, George Peak, wife and son Raymond, Almet Wilson, Albert Wilstec and family, Omer Delong and family and Charles Tinsley and family. After the dinner hour the time was spent in music, singing and a general good time. Mrs. Samuel Amick read an interesting paper which she had prepared on the descendants of the Wilson and Phillips families, which will publish in next week's issue for the benefit of those who were not present. The crowd then began to leave for their respective homes hoping to meet again a year from that day at the tome of Ed Watts in [rest of article is missing].
