    1. [NJSUSSEX-L] Family Reunion of VANDERHUFF family
    2. >From the Sussex Independent, Friday, November 29, 1901: "PLEASANT FAMILY REUNION" "Mr. and Mrs. W. S. VANDERHUFF entertain brothers and sisters at a family dinner--the Aggregate age of all, 580 years." "One of the green spots to be treasured in the memories of Mr. and Mrs. William S. Vanderhuff of this borough, was a family reunion and dinner given at their home on Thursday of last week. It was a reunion of the surviving members of the family of the late Jacob T. Vanderhuff, of Vernon township, the first that has occurred in more than thirty years. Their ages ranged from 60 to 82 years, and the aggregate age was 580 years. The eight surviving children who gathered at the table of good things prepared by that admirable hostess, Mrs. Vanderhuff, were Abram, Jeptha D., William S., and Temperance J. Thompson, of Sussex; Pheobe A. Martin of Wabash, Indiana; Mrs. Frances Martin, of Port Jervis; Teressa Carr of Unionville, and Sophia Martin of Vernon. After the dinner and a very pleasant reunion, the entire group was photographed by Ed. King, the town artist. The day was a very happy one for all present, and will go with them as one of life's happy incidents to the end of their days." Would I be fortunate enough to learn of someone who might know of or have a copy of this photograph made by Ed King, above? If so, please make contact. Also my next message will be a copy of ithe Obit. of Mrs. Phebe MARTIN (Mrs. Sam) of Indiana. Mona in Indiana
