Dewald Reunion at Weasaw Church Draws Hundreds
The Dewald family reunion held last Sunday at the old Weasaw Baptist Church drew about three hundred relatives in Woolleytown. Officers were re-elected for 1922, a $14 collection covered next year’s expenses, and songs and talks followed. A photo sale and letters from members, plus mentions of local residents and activities, filled a day of memory and community.
