Vevay Reveille – 6 Oct 1898 – Page 1, Column 5

Old Citizens’ Meeting,
Held at Lamb, Indiana, Sept. 21, 1898, was called to order at 11 o’clock, by the President, and opened by singing “America.” Invocation by D. M. Bridges, of Carrollton, followed by the son “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name.” J. F. Simpson delivered the welcome address.

Hon. Chas. W. Lee was introduced and spoke 30 minutes, followed by a song by the choir.

Adjourned until 1:30 p.m.

Report, by the President, of the deaths that have occurred in the past three years since the organization of the Old Citizens’ Meeting at Lamb. There were eight deaths among the members, the youngest of which was 62 years of age, the oldest 87 years of age.

The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Pres, D. M. Bridges, Carrollton, Kentucky; Vice Pres., Wm. Anderson, Vevay, Indiana; Sec. and Treas., A. E. Lamb, Lamb, Indiana.

Following the election was a song by the choir, after which Mr. Bridges was introduced and spoke ten minutes.

Song—“My Mother’s Grave,” by E. Adams and others.

Mr. Leland, of Madison, Indiana, was introduced and spoke for ten minutes.

A song by the choir, entitled “A Home Beyond the Jordon,” was followed by a recitation by Miss Sophia Cotton, of Brooksburg, which was very appropriate.

Mr. E. A. Gullion, of Carrollton, Kentucky, gave a short talk, after which Miss Inez Simpson recited “How Ruby Played the Piano,” which was splendidly rendered and much appreciated by the audience.

There were talks by Aljah Wright and others, interspersed with songs.

We had quite a number of relies of the past presented and a brief sketch of their history by A. E. Lamb.

It was a beautiful day, a large crowd in attendance and all seemed to be well pleased. There were 46 old folks registered that was 60 years of age and over. Mr. Aljah Wright was the oldest, being 85 years of age.

The Woman’s Literary Club of Rising Sun made an excursion to Vevay last Tuesday on the steamer Workum. A committee from the Eggleston and Study Clubs met them at the river and escorted them to the residence of Mrs. A. G. Craig, where an informal reception was extended them. Mrs. Craig, assisted by Miss Evylin and the Presidents of the two Clubs, Miss Sada Hall and Mrs. W. J. Baird; and Mrs. G. S. Pleasants; received the guests. The members of the two clubs were scattered through the parlors and exchanged happy greetings. It was a pleasant occasion and the Vevay Clubs hope ere long they may have the pleasure of again entertaining this club. The following composed the party:

Mesdames Sarah S. Stevenson, Florence Gibson, Fannie Rabb Green, Nettie S. Steele, Ida Trouts, Mattie Rockafeller, Misses Jennie Waldo, Alice Perkins, Grace Clark, Mollie Baker, Frances E.
