FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, August 17, 1911 BIG FAMILY GATHERING There was a big family gathering of the Griffin, Hopkins, Meyers, Rickus and Doughty families, all related by marriage, at Mr. Lott Griffin's beautiful grove, 2 1/2 miles southeast of town, last Sunday. There were more than a hundred members of the several families present. A basket dinner, which these good people know so well how to prepare, was spread for the occasion, and a most delightful day was spent. Mr. Redden, the photographer, took a picture of the group and scenery, in which about 110 persons are shown. This he has enlarged by means of a machine of his own invention, making a splendid picture in which every face stands out clear and recognizable.
