Unfavorable weather resulted in the sixth annual Martin Henline family reunion being held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Scholl, 717 West Washington street instead of at Miller park Sunday as originally planned.
A banner bearing the name "Henline" was placed conspicuously in the dining room where the dinner was served on a table covered by a 30 year old silk, linen and damask cloth that belonged to the late Mrs. Seth Henline, Colfax. Martin Henline was one of the children of John and Mary Henline who were among the earliest settlers of McLean county. Anecdotes of pioneer days in the county were recounted.
