The descendants of James RUTHERFORD and Rebecca STEWART had frequent large reunions. These reached their peak when 150 people attended the 4th Reunion on Sept. 7, 1949. The event was hosted by Mr. & Mrs. W.G. "Will" BEATTY, who was the President of Beatty Brothers Manufacturing of Fergus, Ontario at the time. Will was the eldest son of Martha RUTHERFORD who married George BEATTY, a co-founder of the firm which was celebrating its 75th Anniversary that same year. The Invitation List for the reunion is shown below. It is organized into groups according to which of the children of James & Rebecca the invitees are descended from. Also included is a list of those related to the STEWART line, and also those descended from James� sister, Rebecca, who married James HUNTER in Ireland. The names are listed alphabetically by Surname within each group.
Please look carefully through the list, and if you or your ancestors are shown, please contact Bob Sterne at [email protected] so that you can be included in the genealogy of this pioneering couple from Albion Twp. Peel Co. Ontario, who were my Great-Great-Grandparents. I am attempting to discover and record all of the descendants of James & Rebecca if possible. It's long past time for another Reunion!
