Howard Courant
August 25, 1927

Like a bit of Old Ireland, under a brillant Kansas sky, was the big lawn around the Tom Carter home in Howard, Kansas, on August the 20th, when the Moore family held their 4th annual reunion.

Some branches of this family was founded in the year 1855 when James and David Moore migrated from Ireland to the United States.  David settled in Ohio, while James laid the foundation of his home near Piedmont, Kansas.  These two gentlemen still hale and hearty, were present.  Uncle Jim being 99 years old.  And with him was his wife, Aunt Jane, a sweet faced little lady, almost as old as her husband.  The remainder of the guests being descendants and relatives of these two "Sons of Erin."

Dinner, the bountifulness of Kansas farms, was brought in baskets and placed on the 50 foot table which was centered with tall wicker baskets of garden flowers.  The crowd of 170 people formed in line, and after singing grace, marched around the table and were served in cafeteria style.  Then followed the serving of cold drinks and delicious ice cream.

After an hour's visiting, a bit of green was tied on each car, which was quickly filled and the procession repaired to Athletic Park, where a game of baseball between fathers and sons was scored by the sons, also the young ladies played a short but creditable game.

Returning to the Carter home "At the end of a Perfect Day," plans were formed for the next years reunion, which will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Moore of Kansas City, Kansas.  This interesting couple planning to alone entertain this large family.

Plans were then made for departure and farewells were regretfully said.  Among the many changes that Uncle Jim and his brother David have seen suring their 75 years of United States citizenship, perhaps none are greater than the evolution of transportation, which has made it possible for these widely scattered relatives to gather together in a few hours driving.
