Ezra P. Culef visited New England, then joined 34 relatives in a long awaited reunion at the Culef homestead in Washington Vermont on June 16. Rain did not dampen spirits as kin from Atlantic shores, the Mississippi valley, and distant towns gathered for songs, greetings, and a family program, led by their mother and siblings now grown.

Political colors and meeting plans linger in 1866 county notes
In the county the Col Fort majority for state senator stood at 63 percent in 1866 and is hoped to remain above that. Gov Oglesby speaks at Lacon in August on current issues with plans for a large gathering. The Greeleys have ratified at We nona, while B N Stevens and others were slated to address the meeting though speakers were late and the Democratic ticket was not ratified. Debate centers on Greeley and Brown riding two horses, liberal factions, and Democrats’ stance toward wire workers.
