My family lived in Story Co, IA up to about 1940 and perhaps they attended some of the reunions.My grandfather was Harvey Wherry of Fernald, IA and he had two brothers who also lived near Fernald.I know that it was a formal affair with invitations sent out for the reunions.I had one of those invitations which I believe was for the 5th one held and also a picture taken at one of the reunions showing 4 or 5 sitting on the ground with a picnic lunch, probably held around 1935.The invitation and snapshot are currently in the possession of Peg Henderson of Yuma, AZ.
Peg Henderson attended some of the early reunions and said that they were well organized and that they had officers, a formal meeting, etc.I had no idea that they kept minutes of the meetings, and I would love to have a copy of them.I believe you have my address, but E-mail me and I will give it to you if you don't already have it.
Daniel Wherry has been investigating the possibility of a centenniel reunion of the 1904 St Louis reunion and it appears that the 2004 St Louis reunion will occur.I expect that reunions such as the Boone Wherry reunion would be noteworthy to mention, especially if the minutes existed of the event.
