"A pleasant family reunion was held at the home of "Uncle Andy" and "Aunt Margaret" Lawrence in Mitchellville, Sunday, October 8, 1905, in honor of their son Alf. Lawrence and family of Beaver, Utah, at which 40 of their children, grandchildren, nephews and nieces were present representing three generations. They came from all around and from long distances for the occasion, and feasting was one of the attractions. All who were present had ate at "Aunt Marg's" table before, and looked forward to the feast with keen anticipation.. Those present were Ed. Lawrence, wife and son Otto of Newton, A.L. Lawrence and wife and two daughters of Beaver, Utah, Charley Lawrence, wife and four children of Valeria, Mrs. Maria Lawrence and daughter Carrie and Miss Sue Philson of Valeria, Quin Philson and wife of Green Castle, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Grimes and baby of Grandview Park, Des Moines, Frank Ogden, wife and four children, and Arthur Ogden and wife of Altoona, Mrs. Lib. Penquite, Miss Fay Penquite, Elwood Penquite, wife and two children, and Miss Ollie Ogden of Colfax, Miss Nancy Cotton of Bluffton, Ind., and Irvin Ogden of What Cheer, Iowa. . Feasting and visiting occupied most of the day and the capacity of (well, we aren't telling tales); but some of the boys could stow away lots of chicken!. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence came to Polk county from Bluffton, Indiana, forty years ago, and settled on a farm where the town of Valeria now stands. They reared a family of ten children, seven of whom are living. The dead are Albert, John and Mrs. Libbie Newton. Those absent from this reunion are Eli Lawrence of Nebraska, Mrs. Jane Chase of Kansas, and Ryan Lawrence of North Dakota. Uncle Andy is 77 years of age and Aunt Margaret is 75. Both are well and strong for the advanced years. Their home has always been a popular resort for a host of nieces and nephews who are as much at home with the old people as are their own children. Six years ago they moved to Mitchellville and bought a little home of twenty acres just south of town, where they expect to spend the sunset years of their lives in peace and quiet. The many relatives of the younger generation hope they may be spared many years yet, to enjoy the competence they have so richly garnered, and to keep the old home, without which life would not seem just the same to many who have enjoyed its privileges." -------------------------------------- From a 1907 Nance County, Nebraska, newspaper clipping file, transcribed by Linda Berney: Returns from Sad Mission - Eli Lawrence came home Tuesday from a two months stay at the old homestead near Des Moines, Iowa. He went there the 17th of April and since that time has been called upon to bury his father, mother and sister-in-law. His father and sister-in-law both died of cancer of the stomach and his mother of paralysis. Mr. Lawrence was assisted at various times by brothers and sisters, but none of them were situated so they could stay all the time.
