April 1st 1884

The first meeting of our Society for
1884 was held at Edgewood, April 1st
It was quite large, though four families
were not represented Avalon Norwood River-
side and Fulford. Our President made some
very appropriate and feeling remarks about
the loss our Society has sustained in the recent
death of one of its most most interested and
valuable members, Albin Gilpin, with which
all united.

The guests were Mrs. Darlington, Fred
and Pattie Stabler, Debbie Reese, Albina
Stabler, Bessie Scott, Lizzie Stabler and Katie
