Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 104, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 September 1908 — HOME-COMING WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL [ARTICLE]

HOME-COMING WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL

Hundreds of Former Residents Gather Here and Have the Grandest Time of Their Lives.

“Glad to see you. Jack.” "Same to you, Charlie.” "Let’s see, Jack, we haven’t met before since *B7, have we, or was it *86?" “Well bless your darling heart, Mary, I haven’t seen you for 10 years, and you are looking just as natural as though it was but yesterday. Married now, of course, and how many children, and are they all well?” This is the kind of talk Rensselaei ! has been filled with ail week long. Pleasant faces one had almost forgotten, happy smiles, bright eyes, hearts overflowing with joy, and occasionally a tear as some tender recollection of the past was brought to mind. But the heart throbs were for joy, and the regrets were few compared to the incidents of pleasure recalled after so many, many years of separation. Did it pay? Ask those who came back and mingled with all their old friends. Ask those who were the hosts or those who simply came to Rensselaer because they know that here is the place where there is always a good time of the right sort. There was only one thing that could have made it better and that was to haves’artei the movement six months ahead of time and had more of the old timers as our guests. And it has been suggested that we hold another home coming three or five years later and determine a long time in advance when it shall be, and make a more general effort to get the former residents of Rensselaer and Jasper county back again. We will make no mistake bv doing this, and if permanent organisation were effected at home with «. view to holding a home coming every five years, it would be a

fine thing and would furnish muck interest to its members. They could have a president and secretary and the addresses of those who have gong away, could be kept and it would than , be an easy matter to invite them back. a There were so many people here that, it has been impossible for ths Republican to give each some men* iotn; hard as ws have tried many have escaped notice, and as many of those who were here did not register, the list will be imperfect. Soma abridgment of the list is made in order to put the members of one family in one paragraph, and the Mat is here published. B. D. McColly and wife, Chicage Heights. George M.
