SILERS FROM 'ALL OVER' were here last week (or the 100 th reunion of the descendants of Weimar Siler. Nearly a score of
states ? from Texas to Idaho, and from Florida to New York ? and one foreign country were represented by the approximately
300 persons in attendance. Pictured above are some of those from the greatest distances.
Seated, left to right, are Miss Anniewill Siler, of New York City, Mrs. Kate Robinson Hobart, of San Diego, Calif., and Mrs.
James McAlister, of Mapelwood, N. J.
Standing are Capt. William W. Siler, of the V. S., Air Force, who is stationed at Mobile, Ala., but returned from a flight
to Africa just in time to attend the reunion; Francis M. Tessier, of Baton Rouge, La., Mrs. Lindesay Parrott, (the former Miss
Marion Moore), of Tokyo, Japan, Michael D'Onofrio, of Wantagh, Long Island, N. Y., Mrs. O'Onofiro (the former Miss Daisy
Siler), Mr. McAlister, Miss Hope Daniels, of New York City, and Miss Eleanor Sloan, of Lewiston, Ida.

the suggestion of a young girl,
and that the distance (about
six miles) "up the creek" (Car
toogechaye) was so great in
that day that some of those
from Franklin made the trip,
on horseback, the day before.
The reminiscing continued
during a bountiful picnic dinner,
spread on outdoor tables built
in the shade of a big maple
tree. The blessing was said by
the Rev. Robert L. Jerome, of
Elizabeth City.
Gracing the older people's
table was a huge, 100th year
cake, brought from Knoxville by
Mrs. Floy Siler England.
In the afternoon, the formal
meeting was conducted, with
Chairman Carl S. Slagle presid
ing, and W. N. Sloan serving as
secretary.
The meeting was opened and
closed with the hymns that are
traditional at "family meet
ings", "Best Be The Tie That
Binds" and "God Be With You
Till We Meet Again". The invo
cation, pronounced by the Rev.
A. Rufus Morgan, was an orig
inal poem:
Another year!
And we are come
Our contacts to renew.
We come
From simple ways
And boast but this:
Our honest toil,
Our blessed homes,
Our gratitude
For bold adventure
Into this good land
Of Siler brothers
In years gone by.
We offer now
Our thanks to God
For blessings undeserved;
And offer, too,
For years to come
Our faith and service,
That in our fellowship
Our lives may be
But instruments
In bringing in God's reign
Of peace, and joy, and love.
Following the reading of the
minutes, greetings ? sent by tel
egram, letter, and word-of
mouth ? from absent members
were heard.
Mrs, Carl S. Slagle, head of
the memoirs committee, read
brief sketches of members of
the family connection who had
died during the past year ? Miss
Katherine A. Ervin, of Green
ville, S. C., Mrs. T. H. Weaver,
of Weaverville, Mrs. Myra Len
oir Burdette, of Lenoir City,
City, Tenn., C. C. Daniels, of
New York City, and G. L. Jones,
of Asheviile. ~~
Mrs. Joe Setser made the re
port of the outlook committee
accounts of births, graduations,
marriages, and other family
events of the year.
Mrs. Myra Slagle Waldroop,
the registrar, reported a total
registration of 257 ? 245 relatives
and 12 visitors ? and pointed out
that a considerable number had
not registered. Of the 245 kin
present, only 18 bear the Siler
name, Mrs. Waldroop reported.
Most of the session was de
voted to discussion of an am
bitious project to publish a 200
page history of the family. Mrs.
T. W. Porter, who has been
working on the history for many
years, has completed the manu
script, and W. N. Sloan, chair
man of a committee named to
devise ways and means to fi
nance It, reported.
The cost will be between
$1500 and $1800, he said, de
pending on the number of books
printed, and copies will retail
for about $3.
He suggested the only way a
book of this sort could be pub
lished was by raising the money
in advance, and that the most
practical way to do that was by
members of the family under
writing the cost, and being re
imbursed as copies of the book
are sold.
Approximately two-thirds of
the total was underwritten at
the meeting. In addition, some
$50 in cash was raised in sub
scriptions for individual copies
of the book.
Miss Laura M. Jones reported
for a committee that is seek
ing records of members of the
family who have served in
World Wars 1 and 2, and asked
that information on each serv
iceman be forwarded to her, so
that a complete record can be
compiled.
Short talks were made by J.
R. (Dick) Sloan, of PelhairC Ga.,
the Rev. J. H. Brendall, Jr., of
Kings Mountain, Bernard Elias,
of Asheville, and others.
The 1 family accepted the in
vitation of the Rev. A. Rufus
Morgan and his sisters, Mrs. ,
Esther Freas, Mrs. J. M. Barr,
and Miss Lucy Morgan, to hold
next year's session at the old
Albert Siler home, on Cartooge
chaye, which they recently
bought.
The Rev. F. O. Dryman, of
Charlotte, pronounced the
benediction, and the Silers,
their 100th meeting over, began
planning for next year, when
the reunion will mark a century
of existence.
