92nd Ormand Reunion Set
The 92nd consecutive annual re-
union of the descendants of James
Ormand (1669-1766) will be held
at 12 noon on July 29 at the site of
the "Old Furnace" on Long Creek
Church Road (located between
Bessemer City and Kings
Mountain). the Ormand reunion is
also know as "The Old Furnace
Picnic" and ranks among the oldest
consecutive reunions in America.
About 300 relatives bring a pic-
nic lunch and gather each year for
the reunion, traveling from all over
the United States. Rev. Ben F.
Ormand has performed extensive
work on the genealogy of the de-
scendants of James Ormand, and
has published a book entitled
"Ormand History and Descendants
of James Ormand, Sr. (1669-1766);
A Press, Inc.: Greenville, S.C.
(1983). A copy of the book will be
available at the picnic along with
recent supplements.
There will be games available
for children while adults reacquaint
with friends and relatives under the
picnic shelter located beside Long
Creek.
James Ormand and his son set-
tled on land granted to them in
1754 by George II, King of
England, from the Catawba River
to Long Creek. An iron furnace
was erected on a portion of the
property on Long Creek. An iron
furnace was erected on a portion of
the property on Long Creek
Church Road around the time of
the Revolutionary War. The fur-
nace is said to have been used for
making iron products from cannon
balls to plowshare.
