Family's very first reunion draws some 100 relatives here

The Killebrew - Standfield - Moore Family’s known heritage dates back to slavery, but it wasn’t until late last month members gathered for their first big reunion, an exciting fun-filled event in Northwestern Park’s Watkins Community Center. “Togetherness” was the motto and there was plenty of it as some 100 relatives and guests spent the entire day catching up on the latest news, helping themselves to deliciously prepared food and recreation. Historically, the family’s orgin can be traced back to 1845 when Annie Young was born at Dunsville, Va. Even after slavery was abolished, she was bought, but eventually migrated to Baltimore, later Kentucky and finally Tennessee where she met and married Charles Killebrew. They settled in tiny Bennettstown, Ky., raising 17 children (now all deceased). Though she lived to be 91, Mrs. Killebrew, after marriage, was never to see her mother and sisters again.

Their offspring in turn produced big families, now scattered in various places. This year a committee was appointed to plan a reunion. Involved was the tedious job of contacting everyone and bringing them together. Results were seen Saturday, August 26, in the large response with everyone seeming to have a good time. There was even special stereo music operated by Lincoln White. Saturday evening was devoted to general socializing in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Anderson, 711 E. 34th. Breakfast was served the following morning by Mrs. P. Rogers and Mary Coleman, hostess and co-hostess, at 3126 Indianapolis Ave. Out-of-town relatives drawing special attention were Mrs. Pinkie Killebrew of Crofton,

Ky., oldest at 90, and her daughter, Mrs. Mildred K. Bradley, also of Crofton. Picking up recognition as the youngest person there was one-year-old Deric, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Coleman, a great-great-great-grandchild. Travelers from other points included Ernest Johnson and three daughters, Louisville; Mr. and Mrs. Bennie Irvin.

“The smallest good deed is better than the greatest good intentions.” The saying is especially applicable to the Leprosy Missions headquar tered in Bloomfield, N.J. Through this charitable or ganization help for overseas victims is provided in the form of Bibles for hospital chaplains, text books for training centers, training kits for paramedical workers and subscriptions to the International Journal of Leprosy for libraries and workers. These are but a few of the ways your donations can help. * « * SUDDEN REALIZATION: Older Americans are beginning to be recognized as a national resource which many communities are starting to tap. Their energies and their free time are being used for the country’s advantage and their own. Finally, they’re being seen as valuable providers of varying services to people in the total community- children, young adults, the middle aged and many who are institutionalized. Why not encourage them? * * * Golden Leaf Federated Club holds its first meeting of the new season October 7, 1:30 p.m., with Mrs. Clema V. Rogers, 1533 N. Hamilton. * * * The Children’s Museum has come up with another of its goodies in the way of com-munity-oriented free entertainment. Visitors Sunday, September 24, can hear the nultitalented Purdue Black Voices of Inspiration in a free concert, 8:15 p.m., in the Lilly Theatre. The ensemble of 70 student singers from the university’s Blck Cultural Center performs sacred anthemic hymns by black composers in addition to traditional contemporary spiri tual and gospel music from the black heritage. Stanley Butts III is director. * * * SONS OF INDIANA: How a Doughnut Brought Success to America’s Best Loved Clown. He walked all alone that night through the streets of Montreal, Canada. He was lost in deep thought. Things were going from bad to worse for the tall husky redhead. Audiences were skimpy and mostly luke warm. He’d have to move on. But where? And how? He was almost broke. He saw a coffee stand and went in for a cup. As h e sipped, he cast an eye down the counter and there he saw a doughnut dunker! The redhead watched amused, then fascinated. “This could be it,” he thought. And it was.

Red Skelton’s genius for pantomine, his instinct for comic exaggeration turned that evening’s incident into a hilarious “doughnut dunker rou tine.” It became a howling success. Then came radio, movies and television. “We’re all put on earth for a purpose and mine is to make people laugh,” says Richard Bernard Skelton, born 1913 in Vincennes, Indiana. * * * People needing legal help may call their local Bar As sociation which is usually listed in the telephone book under the name of the city or country. People needing an attorney who can’t afford one may be able to get free legal help from a legal services or legal aid program. * * * It was good enough to win Mrs. Ethel Marilow of Indianapolis second place in the State Fair’s senior citizens cookie cookoff. The recipe is simple and required little time. But the results. Holiday Wafers go over big. INGREDIENTS: 2 cups flour, pinch of salt, one third cup of whipping cream, one cup of soft butter^ flavoring to taste and your choice of food coloring (only a few drops).

Cut rounds and dip in sugar to coat both sides. Place on cookie sheet. Prick with fork. Bake seven minutes. Put together with fillings. Blend sugar with egg yolk or butter adding flavoring and color for filling. Spread on half the cookies and top with the remaining coolies like sandwiches.
