The Second Reunion--Of the GEORGE Family--An Article That Will Interest Many People in This Section. The following is from the Steubenville Herald of August 26th. The Rev. Mr. BORLAND referred to is a native of Miller's Run and is a brother-in-law of Mr. Sym. FARRER, of Cherry Valley: The second reunion of the George family and connections was held near Scroggsfield, Carroll Co., O., on Aug. 18th, 1892, there being an interval of just seven years since the first reunion held at Mooretown, this county. The meeting was held in a beautiful grove around what is known as the cold spring on the farm of Wm. MCLAUGHLIN. The spring was led through pipes to within a few feet of the assembly grounds and poured a continuous stream an inch in thickness of pure, sparkling cold water. At 10 o'clock a.m. the crowd was called around the broad platform by Chairman R. M. CRABS and a fervent prayer was offered by Rev. J. B. BORLAND. After a few introductory remarks by the Chairman, Hon. R. G. KEAN in a neat speech extended a great welcome to the friends from near and far. Rev. R. J. GEORGE, of Beaver Falls, Pa., responded in a neat and happy manner. The statistics for the past seven years been gathered up and prepared by R. M. CRABS and were substantially as follows: The history of the GEORGE family we have gathered up from as far back as 1735, when one Thomas GEORGE, a native of Scotland, on account of religious persecution moved to Ireland, and not being satisfied with the situation there, removed to America--"the land of the free and home of the brave." Here in America he died, and left two sons, one named Alexander GEORGE and the other Robert GEORGE. From these two brothers proceeded the family descent, which comprises this reunion of the! GEORGE family. The seventh generation from this old GEORGE family is not making its appearance, and only a few children of this generation are yet born, but perhaps the greater number of those borne since the last reunion of August 19th, 1885, are born of this generation. As nearly as we can determine from the reports gathered, the births exceed the deaths in the Alexander GEORGE line about 39. In the Robert GEORGE line of descendants there have been since the last reunion 24 marriages; births, 122; deaths, 47, making an increase of 124. After a lapse of over a century and a quarter, we were able to gather up and present to you at our last in 1885 1,513 lineal descendants from "old Thomas GEORGE" who has before been referred to, and whose bones are now lying in the cemetery near Paris, Washington county, Pa. It was asked at our last reunion if anyone could point out the exact place where his remains were laid, but it was answered. We repeat the question to-day. It y! et remains unanswered. To-day, this, the second, reunion of the GEORG E families, we are able to report to the gathered friends the number of 1,637 living descendants. This relationship has not been weak in vital forces, and goes largely beyond some other American families of similar descent in multiplying and replenishing the earth. The increase in the GEORGE family in the last century and a half has been an average about ten persons each year. The past seven years has been above average, making about 17 a year. In the days of our patriarchal fathers, men were accounted great who could boast of many cattle and large families. Are we degenerating? We were able in 1885 to gather together in the valley between the hills of Yellow Creek about 400 persons to celebrate their relationship to the GEORGE connection. How many will the registrar report this evening as having assembled among the hospitable friends of Scroggsfield and enjoyed another gala--another great day and one long to be remembered with pleasure? Truly none have deserted, non! e have applied to the legislature to change their name. On the contrary we would borrow a little eulogy by saying that we point with a degree of family pride to our ancestry. There were representatives present in person and by letter from New York to California. Several interesting letters and telegrams were read from absent friends. Miss Jessie GEORGE read an interesting essay on "Our Family History". Rev. W. GRAHAM spoke in a humorous way, and Rev. H. H. GEORGE, D. D. of Beaver Falls, gave one of his solid talks. The farewell address was delivered by Rev. R. A. GEORGE, of Cleveland. No pains had been spared by the good friends of Scroggsfield to make every one comfortable and happy. About 1200 people were cared for in great out-door luxury. The whole affair wound up in the evening with a grand social. A new organization was made as follows: President, Hon. R. G. KEAN; Vice Presidents, R. J. GEORGE, SCROGGSFIELD, and J. P. GEORGE, Moortown; Sec. Thos. E. GEORGE.
