Carmack and son of Hartshorne, Okla., Albert Carmack and family and Mrs. Hudson Reed of Waynesville, Elbert Bryan and family of Crocker, Boy Carmack and Cecil Carmack and family of Crocker, Mr. and Mrs. Lige Payne and family and Mrs. Clyde Beasley and children of Swedeborg, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Payne and son, Mrs. Emma Payne and family, Frank Walters and two daughters, Mrs. J. C. Brown, Mrs. Ed Crawford and children and John Payne of Crocker, Andy Akeman of Swedeborg. At the noon hour a table was spread with good things to eat too numerous to mention and after that was over the pictures were taken. The rest of the day was spent visiting. Willie Carmack of Hartshorne, Okla., has been gone from this place for the past eleven years and Mrs. Hopkins the past seven and there has been many changes in that time. They are brother and sister of Albert Carmack and of Chas. Carmack, who just a short time ago left and located in Oklahoma.
