Waugh - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

The annual reunion of the Waugh family was held Thursday on the beautiful farm of M. B. Waugh in Sugar Creek township. The Waugh homestead consists of eight hundred acres of prairie land, all lying in one body, dotted over with shady groves. The farm was entered sixty-five years ago by Milo Waugh, father of the present owner. Under the shade of one of those beautiful groves just north of the family residence, a table was spread which fairly groaned under the weight of provisions brought by the various members of the family. The gathering consisted of M. B. Waugh and wife of this city. Mr. Waugh's seven children, their husbands and wives and his ten grandchildren, William Powers and William Henderson and wife, of Colfax. All of Mr. Waugh's children and grandchildren are living and were present yesterday. They are James M. Waugh and Mrs. Wm. M. Reeves of this city. John M. Waugh and Frank Waugh, Mrs.Fielding Rice and William Fisher, of Sugar Creek township, and Mrs. John Shriver, near Clark's Hill, Tippecanoe county. The day was pleasantly spent by all and was a reunion long to be remembered. The pictures of the grandfather and his ten grandchildren were taken in a group. The festal day closed when brothers and sisters kissed each other good-bye and departed from the old home, the most sacred and hallowed spot on earth. - thanks to Kim H
