Thirty-one members of the Michael family and one guest celebrated the heritage of Jesse Tillman Michael and Stella Ruth (Cousins) Michael, who were married on Aug. 9, 1898. Lunch was served at 12 noon following the blessing by David Michael of Gallatin. The meal was provided by the families in attendance.
Jeanne Michael McIntosh received a prize for traveling the farthest to attend. Jeanne is from Casa Grande, Ariz. Haley Lebo, Keytesville, and Kay Alexander, Leavenworth, Kan., also won door prizes. The two winners of the candy jars for having the closest guess to the number of pieces of candy in each jar were Lexi Mayo and Katie Chapman.
