Newspaper:

—Thursday August 19, 1915, was an ideal day for the Hisey family to meet for their annual reunion at the home of Joseph Hisey. This year an unusual large number came, and as we always do, met with a hearty welcome from Joseph and Ellen. The tables being in readiness, sheltered by large canvass coverings, seats for all were made. The ladies soon brought forth the baskets, spread the contents upon the tables, and the President invited all to be seated and partake thereof, and this they did to their own satisfaction.
—After dinner was over the President called the meeting to order to atten to any business there might be, minutes of 1914 meeting read, officers re-elected, all bills allowed and other business transacted. The afternoon was spent in conversation, drinking lemonade and eating ice cream. LaRue Carr of Xenia furnished the cream which was appreciated by all.
—Miss Annie Terry of Pasadena, California, Frank Howe, wife and daughters just back from California, Clarence Hamilton and family of Fort Wayne, Indiana and others from Dayton, Xenia, Selma , Springfield, Wilmington, and Farmersville; also Carleton Lawrence from Chicago was there. Altogether this was declared the best meeting yet. In the evening we adjourned each goin our way to meet at the same place the third Thursday in August 1916. —Mrs. Martha Davis, Secy.
