McKeithan Clan
Has Reunion
The family of Mr. and Mrs. Neil
A. McKeithan, deceased, gathered
at the old home place near
Rockfish, now occupied by one of
their sons, Cecil McKeithan, his
wife and children, for their annual
reunion.
There were nine children born to
Mr. and Mrs. McKeithan, eight
still living. All but one of the eight,
Merle McKeithan Jerret of Albu
querque, New Mexico, attended
with their spouses and members of
their families. Mrs. Jerret was
unable to come on account of
sickness. Eloise McKeithan
Shockley, who married Roy
Shockley, is the only deceased
member of the children born to
Mr. and Mrs. McKeithan.
The remaining seven members
of the family attending were:
Wesley McKeithan, Winston
Salem; Blanche Stevens, Morehead
City; Eunice Mottley, Burkeville,
Virginia; Willie McKeithan and
Lelia Butler, Fayetteville; Sara
Neil Key, Albuquerque, New Mex
ico; and Cecil McKeithan of
Raeford.
Approximately 63 members of
the clan started gathering from far
and near on Friday afternoon for
the weekend festivities. Some
stayed with relatives, some in
motels and some camped on the
banks of Rockfish creek just
behind the home place, where they
all gathered each day for the daily
activities and reminiscing. They
came with coolers filled with food
and chairs to enjoy the coolness of
the tree shaded area and the huge
parachute, hung for unshaded
areas.
The highlight of the occasion
took place Saturday afternoon
with a cookout and picnic. Group
entertainment and live music made
this a festive affair.
After the Sunday morning
breakfast on the banks of the
creek, worship services were con
ducted by Ronald Stevens, son of
Blanche Stevens, and grandson of
the late Mr. and Mrs. McKeithan.
The group disbanded and head
ed for Emerald Isle for several
days before returning to their
homes, and looking forward to
gathering here again next year the
first Saturday before July 4.
