Our First Reunion - 1973
Our first family reunion was held in Galesburg, Illinois on the south side of Lake Storey in 1973.
This reunion included descendant families from both the Taylors (Henry) and Crothers (Benjamin) lineage.
Although there was no sign in/guest book used at the reunion, I estimate that there were at least 108 people in attendance.
