..Members of the Barnes
family came from as far
away as Buffalo, N.Y. to
participate in their yearly
reunion. Prayer, eating,
talks, looking at old photos,
dancing and then more
eating were the main
events when the sixty
members convened.
On Saturday, August 9,
they came from Lancaster,
S.C., Winston-Salem, and
Buffalo, N.Y. It was the
idea of Juanita Barnes
Montgomery three years •
ago to start the reunions.
This year’s events were
, coordinated by Mr. and
Mrs. Richard Lee Barnes
Sr., Percell Barnes Jr. and
his wife Elizabeth.
One of the highlights of
the reunion was a dinner at
