List I did not know where to post this exactly. I'm sure someone, someplace would like to have this information. Pass it on if you know where. Thanks Larry Wm Sumpter ============================ Family Reunion We have received from Attica, Ind., a communication which we find too long for the crowded state of our columns. We therefore condensed the facts: Anthony Harmon, Esq., formerly a resident of Randolph, removed from the county with his family of five sons and two daughters about the close of the war, and settled in Warren county, Ind., on a large farm belonging to a bachelor brother, Jacob Harmon. Four of the five sons and both of the daughters have since married and there is an issue of about a dozen grand children. Mrs. Harmon, senior, was a Miss. Carver, and sister of the late Milton Carver, Mrs. Charles Featherstone, Mrs. Bloomfield Hutsell, Mrs. Jane Buckner, deceased, (mother of Mrs. John G. Burton), Mrs. Benj. J. Haley, (mother of Revs. T. P. and H. Haley, well known ministers of the Christian church, and that prince of Jolly bachelors, J. N. B. Carver, all of whom are now or have been residents of Randolph. About thirty years ago the latter, Mr. Jere Carver, left for California. In ten or twelve years he returned to the United States, locating first in New York and then in Buffalo. For thirty years he did not visit the home of his youth. Sometime during the summer Mrs. Hutsell advised Mrs. Harman that she designed visiting her, with some of the younger members of the family about the 1st of August. This fact was communicated to Jere Carver and to other members of the scattered family without letting them know that a reunion was contemplated. Mr. Carver arrived first. Then came Mrs. Huntsell of this county and her grand nieces, Mrs. John Harlan and Miss. Bettie Trimble of this city, and Rev. T. P. Haley of Kansas City. The surprise and pleasure of such a greeting can be better imagined than described. Meantime, Mrs. Harmon's children who lived at a distance had been advised of the coming event, and they also gathered in--Jacob Harmon, wife and four sons, Robert Harmon, wife and son, Oscar Harmon, wife and son, John Harmon, wife and daughter, Ben Lee, wife and two daughters and one son, and John Hamilton, wife and daughter--besides Mr. Carver of New York, the bachelor uncle, Jacob, now eight-three years old, and the young bachelor, Walter. On Sunday, 12th, inst., Rev. Mr. Haley preached in the neighborhood, where there was a dinner on the sward, the Harmon family and connections constituting a goodly part of the congregation. It was a family reunion which only those can appreciate who have experienced something similar. It will long remain a green spot in the memory of those who took part in it.
