      A re-union picnic of the descendants of Luther Bassett was held in Boyd?s grove, near Danville, on Friday, Sept. 3. Luther Bassett was a son of Jeremiah and Elizabeth Simpson Bassett, his father being of Irish, and his mother of Scotch decent, while in the veins of his wife ran German blood. The family all told (living members) numbers 111, of who 56 were present. There are living five children, 32 grand-children, 44 great-grand-children. Among those present were D. W.G. Weaver, of Wilkes-Barre; I.C. Kline, of Kline?s Grove, formerly a teacher in the Wilkes-Barre public schools; Mrs. Margaret Morgan and three children of Kingston. Elliot R. Morgan, of Kingstown, is also a relative.
      An organization was effected and a committee appointed to arrange for a similar gathering next year.
